Professional Development
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It refers to the process of tracking and documenting the skills, knowledge and experience that you gain both formally and informally as you work, beyond any initial training.
ATENK would like to share all possible CPD opportunities available for teachers of English of North Kazakhstan & Petropavlovsk.
ATENK will conduct ‘TeachMeet’ workshops in the framework of CPD for English teachers in Petropavlovsk at American Corner and other venues across the North Kazakhstan region.
A TeachMeet is an organised but informal meeting for teachers to share best practices in the EFL classroom, and practical innovations and personal insights in teaching.
Participants volunteer to demonstrate their best practices they have previously delivered over the past year, or discuss a product that enhances classroom practice.
TeachMeet events are open to all and do not charge an entry fee. Read more about ‘Teach Meets’ in a special section of our website.
ATENK prepared here a list of different resources of PD (professional development) opportunities: online courses, webinars and conferences.
