The policy paper conceptualises and organises teacher continuing professional development (CPD) around a new teacher CPD framework developed and fully adjusted for Armenia’s educational context based on the existing research-backed British Council Teaching for Success approach.
The new framework aims to address the existing need for reforming the teacher development system in Armenia and to empower teachers to take responsibility for their own ongoing professional development.
The paper also identifies ways the new framework can be integrated with the existing attestation system while also recommending and introducing a series of novel systems and approaches to teacher attestation, accreditation, and promotion.
