Continuing Professional Development Framework
The Draft Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Framework is now available for consultation. The purpose of the CPD framework is to recognise the importance of teacher engagement in continued professional development and outline the expectations for renewal of registration.
Representatives of employers, teachers unions, practising teachers, higher education institutions and parent bodies, through their membership of the Queensland college of Teachers Board and Professional Standards Committee were actively involved in the development of the Framework. These key stakeholders participated in focused discussions, debates and decisions about the purpose, principles and content of the Framework.
A comprehensive and state-wide consultation process on the Continuing Professional Development Framework (draft for consultation) was undertaken. Following analysis of outcomes of the consultation, the Framework will be revised for implementation in 2009.
