Editor’s Note
Dear CPD Leaders,
As we reach the end of an exceptional year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the incredible journey we have shared. This year has been a testament to the power of professional development, marked by a series of impactful CPD events that have enriched our community and fostered growth across our schools.
From inspiring keynotes, to innovative JAWS workshops, each event has contributed to our collective learning and professional advancement. The dedication and enthusiasm of our educators, and colleagues have made this year truly remarkable.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the CPD opportunities that await us next year. Our commitment to providing high-quality professional development remains steadfast, which is reflected in our Calendar. There is a variety of CPD/ CPL events that will continue to support and inspire our community.
Thank you for your continued support and participation. Together, we are shaping the future of education, one CPD event at a time.
Wishing you all a restful and rejuvenating break, and looking forward to another fantastic year of learning and growth.
Wishes,
Swati
