2. Concept of CPD
“Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is the concept that
learning continues throughout one's life, both through educational
courses, work experience and practice. Individuals are encouraged to
identify their personal learning needs and to assess their progress in
dynamic ways”
CPD is a planned, continuous and lifelong process 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 organisation
and their pupils.(Amol Padwad and Krishna Dixit, 2011)
