workshops)

coaching, critical friendships,
mentoring, action research) and
3. out of school learning (visits to other
schools, school-university
partnerships and so on)

Continuous Professional Development of Teachers and other Teaching Personnel
In-service teacher education shall be developed upon and related to the pre-service teacher education

In-service training will focus more on capacity building of teachers in identified deficiency areas,
educational leadership and other areas of education for sustainable development etc.
Continuous Professional Development of Teacher Educators
Continuous professional development academy/center for Teacher Educators will be set-up in each
province to help them acquire up-to-date knowledge and adopt innovative teaching-learning strategies in
their classrooms
The CPD courses shall be part of the performance appraisal of teacher educators and linked to their
progression in the profession (NEP, 2017; p. 67)

school teachers will attend
the professional
development activities on
every PD day (last working
day of each month)
The focus of the material
will be on Pedagogical
Content Knowledge (PCK)

Management of CPD
• At provincial level, PITE will take lead in
managing all the CPD activities in the
field
• At cluster level these activities will be
managed by the Cluster Hub
School/Campus School within a cluster
• At school level school Head will carry out
observation of each teacher twice a week
12. CPD Model in Pakistan
The CPD will be delivered through blended mode:
Face-to-face interaction of trainers (who are referred as Guide Teachers/Subject
Coordinators/facilitator in the framework) with teachers in workshop setting;
for all teachers within the school and/or at cluster level on regular basis for a short duration (two-hours
to one day), and
for low performing teachers within District for one week to four-weeks during vacations
On the job support through mentoring visits of schools by the trainers/ASDEO/ observaio by
Headmaster
Online support for teacher and trainers through a dynamic web-portal to be administered by a
dedicated team of professionals based at PITE

16. Conclusion
Different model were in practice through reginal and international
organization but the new model of CPD now replace all other CPD models
and the impetus to restructure CPD in the provinces has now gained
momentum. There are many advantages of the proposed model including
collaborative working to improve teacher quality and student learning,
reduction in the number of monitors and officers visiting schools, and a
substantial increase in teacher training time. But one great limitation is that
the resources persons are not fully equipped with proper training. Further
more it is a continuing process and help the teachers to reflect on their
practices regularly.

whereby teachers try to develop their personal and professional qualities, and to improve their knowledge, skills and practice, leading to their empowerment, the improvement of their agency and the development of their organization and their pupils
CPD refers to any activity, formal or informal, that helps you develop your skills and knowledge, and enhances your professional practice
Training - focuses on skills, with expert delivery, and little practical focus
Award Bearing – usually in conjunction with a higher education institution, this brings
the worrying discourse on the irrelevance of academia to the fore
• Defecit - this looks at addressing shortcomings in an individual teacher, it tends to be
individually tailored, but may not be good for confidence and is unsupportive of the
development of a collective knowledge base within the school
• Cascade – this is relatively cheap in terms of resources, but there are issues
surrounding the loss of a collaborative element in the original learning
• Standards Based – this assumes that there is a system of effective teaching, and is not
flexible in terms of teacher learning. It can be useful for developing a common
language but may be very narrow and limiting
• Coaching / Mentoring – the development of a non-threatening relationship can
encourage discussion, but a coach or mentor needs good communication skills
Personalized: Built on your identified needs and requirements rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach
Relevant: Relates to your teaching theory and/ or subject specialism and the needs of your learners
Sustained: New skills and ideas need time to take hold; experimentation and refinement is the best way to embed new ideas into your classroom practice
Supported: by coaching or mentoring from experienced colleagues, either from within or from outside your school
Collaborative: while teaching could be seen as a solitary profession, collaboration with your fellow teachers and colleagues has been identified as one of the most relevant features required for teacher learning
The demands of a professional code of conduct. How educational research can be used as a means for continuous learning, self assessment and development. How to develop and maintain a personal professional portfolio. Share successful professional experiences with others
PDD will be held on the last working day of every month and the result of the assessment of grade 2 and 5 and need analysis conducted by DCTE and BISE will be used to cover the difficult topic
CRO will used (head teacher or ASDEO) to provide constructive feedback the observation sheet will contain Academic calendar, teaching practiceintroduction, development of instructional stratagies, questioning/ evaluation summery and homework
Managing learning environment and multigrade teaching
SRD it is a daily work in which the teacher will write down their need or difficulties and will be discuss with Head or on PDD
