The attainment of CPD and TPD is required in the educational institutions in order to serve school administrators and students, increase educational performance, sustain competitiveness, and fulfill expected accomplishment in global education. Therefore, it is urgent for educational institutions to encourage their CPD and TPD and develop a strategic plan to regularly check their practical advancements in the educational institutions.

Background

Professional development is integral in the workplace in order to prosper within the complexity of modern society (Fletcher & Zuber-Skerritt, 2008). Professional development is critical in supporting the teachers’ use of technological tools in classrooms (Higgins & Spitulnik, 2008). Armistead et al. (2013) indicated that CPD topics are a response to the intervention, academic interventions, academic screening and progress monitoring. As the most valuable resources in schools (Hattie, 2009), teachers can play an important role in helping students engage in discussion and solve authentic scientific problems (Belland, Burdo, & Gu, 2015).
