CPD portfolio

Evidence of your professional development during your probationary year period should be gathered into a comprehensive CPD portfolio and kept for your own reference.

A framework exists for planning and documenting your professional development. Details can be found in the probation process section.

Your portfolio will include:

1. a copy of your Timetable, detailing the 6.75 hours (0.3 full time equivalent) of CPD undertaken and the variety of experience gained in the 15.75 (0.7 full time equivalent) of teaching practice 
2. your Initial professional development action plan (IPDAP) and Initial Teacher Education Profile
3. the Professional Development Action Plan (PDAP) allowing you to identify CPD requirements
4. CPD Tracking Record plus any additional details of CPD experiences you have undertaken and your evaluation of them
5. Supporter Meetings 
6. Record of Observed Teaching
7. supporting evidence, discussed in how to meet the SFR, including plans and materials used during Observed Teaching Sessions and in other CPD experience
8. a copy of your Interim Profile or Final Profile

You will keep hold of the portfolio and use it to plan your professional development beyond probation.
