Continuing Professional Development is at the heart of a teaching profession for the 21st Century. It is for everyone: teachers, chartered teachers, principal teachers, depute head teachers and head teachers alike. The range of experiences that contribute to a teacher's professional development is very wide and should be recognised as anything that progresses, assists or enhances a teacher's professionalism such as, attendance at courses, preparatory or follow up work for courses, reading of professional materials - journals, books, research information, school development work - membership of working group.
We hope that you find this website user-friendly and of benefit to you when planning your CPD.
