Continuing professional development CPD)
- Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is at the heart of the Teaching for Success approach
- Evidence shows that CPD is the most effective way to improve the quality of teaching
- CPD continues throughout a teacher’s career and is planned according to individual teacher needs and professional requirement
- CPD consists of a range of learning opportunities, including teacher training courses, mentoring, observation, communities of practice, reflection and research to meet different development needs
- We take a constructivist approach to training and development which builds on the teacher’s existing professional understanding, knowledge and skills, and takes into account the teacher’s context
