The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority (QCAA) offers professional development for teachers from kindergarten to Year 12. We provide workshops, webinars, forums, online resources, and training for NAPLAN test markers and QCAA assessors.
Continuing professional development and teacher registration
These activities can count towards your continuing professional development (CPD) requirements for Queensland College of Teachers (QCT) registration renewal.
When choosing an activity, consider if it represents genuine new learning. Routine activities, such as NAPLAN marking over a number of years, may not count as new learning.
You are responsible for assessing how an activity contributes to your development and professional growth. If the QCT audits your CPD, you will need to justify the activities you have been counted.
