CPDContinuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the ongoing learning and development of teachers throughout their careers.
As a probationer teacher, you are required to go through a fairly intense period of CPD. In order to successfully meet the Standard for Full Registration (SFR) you will need to consider your CPD as having four main elements:
- engaging in regular meetings with your supporter to discuss your progress
- utilising feedback from observations of your teaching
- recording and reflecting upon specific CPD experiences you engage in throughout your probationary period
- gaining professional development from having a varied timetable of teaching experiences
These requirements will be met differently depending on which teaching route you have decided to follow:
Teacher Induction Scheme
If you are following the Teacher Induction Scheme, visit our Teacher Induction Scheme and CPD section for details on how to make more of your CPD experience.
Alternative Route
If you are following the Alternative Route, you will find details on how to make more of your CPD experience in the Alternative Route and CPD section.
