Managing the process

The school’s role is to support and encourage its staff in creating their CPD portfolios. They should encourage continued use of them, and then provide focused feedback based on their content. If the school promotes the use of CPD portfolios enthusiastically, teachers will feel engaged and willing to contribute.


This section provides guidance on how to help teachers build their portfolios, and covers the administrative issues involved (including accreditation). The process involves:

Teachers find out what a CPD portfolio is and what they need to do, perhaps through an introductory session run by the school.

Teachers collect and record the information that will be the core of their CPD portfolios.

Teachers take time to think over what they have written and collected.

Teachers discuss the issues raised with their line manager.

Progress is reviewed regularly.
