Teachers' Professional Development

There are four key stages of a teacher's professional development: initial teacher education (ITE) (which equips aspiring student teachers with the necessary qualifications to become professional educators); induction (which normally takes one school year to complete); early professional development (EPD) (which normally takes two school years to complete); and continued teacher professional learning (TPL) (where teachers routinely reflect on their professional practices and identify opportunities for improvement throughout their careers).
