If you just want to be a better class teacher, then this will show your headteacher your commitment to your students. ****************** CPD is important for any professional, some sectors are governed by a Professional Body or Regulator each of which have a CPD policy that their members must adhere to. Regulated professionals need to maintain their CPD record in order to continue to practice and this can be measured by the number of CPD hours (or points) a professional undertakes, or else in an outcomes based way. This means that individuals must self-prescribe learning they feel they need, and then reflect on how it has helped them to improve in their role. If you don’t have a formal CPD record to keep, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep a personal one. ****************** Our research has shown that a CPD section on a CV can greatly improve employability prospects (The CPD Research Project 2010). Undertaking and recording formal CPD is a great way to demonstrate to your current or prospective employer that you work hard to keep up to date.
