The document outlines the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) program for teachers in the Punjab region, initiated to address the gaps between pre-service and in-service training, improve the quality of education, and ensure a structured approach to teacher development. It details the roles and responsibilities of various educational staff, including District Teacher Educators (DTEs) and Cluster Training and Support Centers (CTSCs), emphasizing the importance of mentoring, training needs assessment, and continuous support.

Why CPD?
 No linkage between Pre
service & In service
education & training
 Training courses centrally
designed without TNA
 Training organized on ad-
hoc basis
 No follow up & support
 Untrained & poorly
qualified trainers
 Inadequate incentives
 Lack of monitoring &
evaluation
