Teacher resource

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

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.

Teacher resource, rewritten from the mykurasa.com guide for this site in September 2026. It is not a 60 Decibels percentage. Where a 60dB piece already covers the same weekday job, that piece is a see-also — the figures stay on that ledger.

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

The 12 March CPD post and the 26 March lifelong-learning twin said the same thing twice: stay current, share practice, treat growth as a career rather than a sitting. Both were padded with a composite teacher and “21st-century” slogans. Search does not need two URLs. This one is the dest. The lifelong-learning permalink 301s here when the old blog cuts over.

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.

Academy

Rehearse the week. Then go back to it.

Academy for the sitting. Workspace for Monday. Mentorship for the colleague who already runs the week.
