Continued Professional Development

Resources for Teachers

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is on-going training and development for teachers; teaching staff are always learning and getting better at their roles, even after they finish their degree and start teaching.

CPD Resources

Teachers engage in CPD to learn how to teach better, how to understand their pupils better, and how to use new resources, tools, or methods to make learning more fun, engaging, and effective in the classroom and beyond.

Benefits of Continued Professional Development

Think about it like this: If you keep learning new strategies, teaching stays fun and challenging and doesn’t stagnate. Teachers want to keep their “game” strong so they can keep making school fun, interesting, and helpful for children.

CPD helps teachers learn better ways to support different pupils, like when someone needs extra help or has a different way of learning. It’s all about making sure school is the best it can be for everyone.
