This book challenges the way in which continuing professional development (CPD) is carried out in further education (FE).

In the opening chapter, Sue discusses the changing nature of professionalism and how educators could or should react to increased globalisation of knowledge and skills. She emphasises the need for professional educators to become learners and collaborators with their peers, students, stakeholders and managers. In subsequent chapters, Sue’s co-authors deal with the background to the current CPD landscape in which central government and managers engage in assessing how much CPD is done.
