The CPD Escape Room: Conquering Your Professional Development Fears
Yulia Chorna
Summary
Ever signed up for CPD but never followed through? You’re not alone. Teachers face real barriers—lack of time, high costs, irrelevant content, tech overwhelm, or fear of failure. In this interactive, escape-room-style workshop, we’ll tackle these challenges head-on. Through collaborative tasks, you’ll unlock practical, flexible, and affordable CPD solutions tailored to real teaching lives. Expect hands-on strategies, fresh insights, and a new perspective on professional development. Let’s break free from CPD that doesn’t work—and find what does.
