CPD

CPD, or Continuing Professional Development, refers to the ongoing learning activities that professionals engage in to maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills needed to deliver a professional service. CPD is important for ensuring that one continues to be competent and advance in their profession.

When it comes to teacher CPD, its importance is even greater because quality teaching is vital for improving student learning and there is a strong body of evidence that shows that high-quality CPD for teachers can have a significant effect on pupils’ learning outcomes [1].
