Abstract

How to make your continuous professional development (CPD) relevant by using critical incidents (CIs)? This talk will discuss the theoretical foundations of a CPD cycle, and explore how teachers' beliefs and judgements affect their CPD. I will describe what CIs are and how to identify them. Also, I will provide practical strategies to transform CIs into CPD opportunities.
