Promoting a culture of continuing professional development

 5th August - Teachers' Professional Development Day.

Dear PD Coordinators'
 I am sure all of  you would be busy now planning for the 3rd PD day, hope the following link would be useful...


Effective continuing professional development (CPD) should be an integral part of your school’s culture. Embedding CPD policy and processes into wider school processes will ensure your school development.

Your role is to promote a culture that celebrates staff learning, and encourages colleagues to share their learning with others. In a successful learning community people learn both with, and from, each other. Ensuring the positive impact of professional learning is celebrated and shared will support positive changes in the CPD culture and practice in your school.

  2. Thank you for the comment!
    Yes, it has created a good impact on the way schools view professional development and conduct PD programmes in schools.
    Now in every school PD activities are conducted with 100%initiative from schools and they are very responsible for this. In some schools PD coordinators, school heads and some teachers actively take sessions while other schools approach related authorities to conduct their programmes....so we believe this is a very positive change, but of course for SBPD to be on full wings it will take some time. Thank You
