Practitioner networks

Welcome to Practitioner Networks. We aim to spread best practice in schools through our lead practitioner (LP) and advanced skilled teachers (AST) programmes.

SSAT lead practitioners are outstanding teachers recruited on a one year basis who disseminate best practice in their subject through regional networks. They run events throughout the country and also produce resources for our website. For further information about the network and resources see our lead practitioner pages.


We are expanding our AST network and programmes. For further information see our AST pages.
