CPD for CBC teachers is a weekday rehearsal, not a hotel certificate

First published 12 March 2024 guide · Published March 12, 2024

CBC asked teachers to facilitate competencies — differentiate, assess while the lesson is warm, put a device in the week — not only to finish a syllabus. A one-off workshop does not hold that. Continuous professional development does, if it is the actual week, rehearsed, then used on Monday.

Practical teaching guide, updated September 2026. Use the examples to discuss lesson preparation, classroom observations and follow-up with your teaching team.

Kurasa Academy is practical professional learning on the weekday jobs. It is not a Teachers Service Commission licence, not official TPD points, and not a substitute for KICD documents.

What the March 2024 guides actually said

Professional learning continues through lesson study, shared planning and practice with colleagues. Make time to review classroom evidence, try a teaching approach and discuss what to carry into the next week.

What still has to be practised

Differentiated instruction that is not three private classrooms. Collaborative work when the task needs more than one head. Formative checks closed before the class stands up. ICT as the register and the scheme, not a private college course. Those are CBC jobs. They are also the jobs a Kurasa sitting rehearses.

Where Academy sits — and does not

Academy is the product page for that rehearsal. Training day is a weekday, not a certificate mill. A paper, if one is issued, is a record of attendance. It does not future-proof a career and it does not replace the TSC file. Mentorship in the staffroom is a different page. Official TPD, if a named course still runs, should be dated on its own landing — do not keep a ghost.
