Queensland College of Teachers

CPD recording

It is the responsibility of the individual teacher to:

• record CPD undertaken in a format that meets QCT requirements and best suits his/her individual needs and/or employer requirements. The QCT has an online recording tool that is available through ‘Online Services’ on the QCT website
  
• keep their records and evidence for 12 months following renewal of registration
• make the evidence available as required by QCT for auditing purposes.

A Tutorial - Recording your CPD is available to assist teachers with using the online recording tool.

Evidence of CPD:

• will vary according to the nature of the activity
• should be verified at the time the activity is undertaken
• will include reference to the professional standards addressed
  

Examples:

• For engagement in courses, workshops, seminars, and summer schools, evidence could be in the form of a certificate provided by the organisation or provider.
• For school-based CPD, evidence could include school records such as minutes, sign-on sheets
  or
  agendas that confirm who attended and the amount and type of CPD involved, annual/term
  or
  statements provided by the school using the usual school/system’s recording arrangements
  or
  certificates provided by a presenter.
  
• For formal academic studies. A certificate of completion or transcript of academic results will provide evidence of completed formal studies.
  
• For professional reading or viewing evidence could be in the form of a log including bibliography and the outcome such as a presentation to colleagues, report or implementation into planning. The QCT has developed an optional Reflection template to assist teachers validate professional reading and viewing activities.
