Organization
Certificates of CPD activities attended, such as seminars and workshops.

-Yes, CPD is necessary for professional teachers as it ensures they stay updated with
new teaching strategies, educational trends, and international standards. It not only sharpens
their skills but also helps them contribute more effectively to their students’ learning and
professional growth.
3) Among the ways by which professional teachers can earn CPD units, which would you
avail of, if you are already a teacher? Justify your answer.
-If I were a teacher, I would prefer the Academic Track. Completing a Master’s
degree or pursuing higher education provides a deeper understanding of teaching
concepts and research, significantly enhancing my ability to contribute to the field. It also
fulfills personal academic goals while gaining substantial CPD units.
