Professional and Career Development – the website that helps teachers to map their career and professional development Part 1c Introduction to the website: PowerPoint Presentation 1 Slide 5 CPD Planning for Teachers Personal development planning is defined in the UK as "a structured and supported process undertaken by an individual to reflect upon their own learning, performance and / or achievement and to plan for their personal, educational and career development." Thus, an ePortfolio for personal development planning contains records of learning, performance, and achievement which can be reflected on, and outcomes of that reflection, including plans for future development. This could include a learning ePortfolio, but goes beyond that, as it is often related to professional development and employment, so also possibly used as a presentation ePortfolio. ( IMS ePortfolio Best Practice and Implementation Guide – June 2005)

Professional and Career Development – the website that helps teachers to map their career and professional development Part 1c Introduction to the website: PowerPoint Presentation 1 Slide 6 Role of the ePortfolio in Teachers CPD An ePortfolio is a repository of acquired learning, the skills, knowledge and abilities that an individual acquires through learning. These are the formal, non-formal, incidental and accidental learning opportunities that occur both within their everyday workplace experiences and in more targeted learning scenarios. For Teachers ePortfolios need to be portable to ensure continuity both on an educational institution level and to ensure the integration of evidence about learning between institutions. From an individual perspective, information about a person's learning, performance and achievement, as recorded in an ePortfolio, need to operate across institutions and countries throughout their lifetime.
