The NSW Teachers Federation’s (Federation) Centre for Professional Learning (CPL) provides high quality, research-based professional learning and support for Federation members in a range of pedagogical and school based curriculum areas.
The courses and conferences provide practical, tested and well researched approaches to issues that teachers face every day at the school level. The CPL aims to offer programs that are useful across the spectrum of a teacher’s career from the early years of teaching to the experienced and leadership levels. Courses and conferences are conducted in-person, as well as online. The CPL adds an important extra dimension to the union’s standing both with its members and in the public domain. It makes a positive contribution to the Federation’s ongoing efforts to raise the status of the teaching profession and promote the public education system in the wider NSW community.
