Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications (PDQs) provide a strong framework to support the effective continuing professional development of candidates. They help candidates to: • engage critically with relevant concepts, principles, theories and best practices from around the world • apply new ideas and approaches in reflective practice in their own teaching and learning context • formatively evaluate experiences to plan further development • transform the quality of teaching and school leadership to improve the outcomes of learners. Cambridge PDQs are designed to be integrated into schools’ professional development planning, activities and culture. They help schools to improve through cost-effective, sustainable programmes that benefit teachers and their learners. They demonstrate to parents, the school community and stakeholders that the school values and nurtures staff development. School feedback: ‘Over the three years we have run the PDQ, we have seen how the programme has been a catalyst for exciting conversations about Teaching and Learning across the school. The PDQ candidates are envoys in their departments for the reflective and rigorous approach that we want to see in all staff, and that collaboration at department level has allowed the benefits of the PDQ to blossom beyond those who have participated in the course. By engaging with educational research and theories, and embedding these in their practice, the PDQ candidates have been role models to their departmental colleagues. In particular, the highquality evidence-based research in the diploma programme has challenged teachers across the school to be bold and ambitious as they reflect on their own practice, striving for excellence.’ Feedback from: Bianca Wright, PDQ Programme Leader, Head of Teaching and Learning, Hebron School, Tamil Nadu, South India © Cambridge University Press & Assessment January 2022 Cambridge International Education is the name of our awarding body and a part of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, which is a department of the University of Cambridge.
