23 Things for Professional DevelopmentHelen Murphy Trinity Hall @lemurph #cpd23 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jegomezr/2926143475/sizes/m/in/photostream/

We all know what CPD is… …and we know why it’s important “…a process by which individuals take control of their own development and learning, by engaging in an ongoing process of reflection and action…” Megginson, D. and Whitaker, V. (2004). Continuing professional development. London: CIPD. http://www.flickr.com/photos/spatial_pan/494715144 5/

But do we actually know how to do it? Or is it just easier said than done? http://www.flickr.com/photos/sprengben/4550315185/lightbox/

The economic downturn just makes everything more difficultopportunities are more scarceprecisely when we need CPD more than ever.(token cute picture so we don’t get too depressed)

What we need is something that’s…self‐paced: that you can do in your own timeinclusive: so we all can join ininformal: so there’s no pressurewith plenty of help ‘n’ guidanceand which doesn’t cost a penny. #cpd23
