Teacher Continuing Professional Development is an essential factor in enhancing teaching practice from Initial Teacher Education right through to headship. However, there has been less previous evidence for the relationships between teachers' self-efficacy and Grit level with their continuing professional development (CPD) . The researcher proposed a new model of interrelationships among Iranian EFL teachers using AMOS software to illuminate this uncharted area. 204 EFL teachers (111 males and 93 females) teaching in different private language institutes in Mashhad, Iran, were the population selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments used include Short Grit Scale, Teachers’ Self-Efficacy Scale, and teachers’ Continuing Professional Development questionnaire. The results of structural equational modeling revealed that teachers’ grit and self-efficacy are significant positive predictors of CPD. Moreover, the study results revealed that teacher grit was predicted only by self-efficacy. Pearson correlation analysis showed the highest correlation between self-efficacy and CPD and the lowest correlation between grit and CPD. Along the line, various pedagogical implications arose from the research results for teachers, administrators, and the ministry of education.  \nContribution/ Originality: This research contributes to the existing literature. However, the Pearson correlation analysis showed the highest correlation between self-efficacy and CPD and the lowest correlation between grit and CPD. In the study, grit, persistence, and self-efficacy were found to be conducive to promoting teachers' professional development. The results of structural equational modeling revealed that teachers’ grit and self-efficacy are significant positive predictors of CPD. SEM model for the Iranian context of EFL learners enjoyed perfect fit with the data.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nTeaching a language is a profession, just like every other profession. Teaching a language requires various skills ranging from high proficiency to academic knowledge of language learning and teaching methodology (Hardy, 2011) . Several growing appeals for professionalism are considered to be the epitome to which practitioners and teaching associations yearn and try to outperform other teachers (Rimmer & Floyd, 2020) . Accordingly, teacher professionalism is a fast maturing field, with many well-understood methods that should be spun out in every teacher education program. In this way, teacher education programs nourish the seeds for development (Smith, 2005) so that teachers can spouse professionalism that fosters autonomy and responsibility after graduation  \nfrom pre-service teacher education (Ro, 2020) . Also, effective professional development plans can promote teachers’knowledge and proficiencies to effectively affect student learning. Researchers have widely highlighted the importance of ‘Continuing Professional Development (CPD)’ for instructors.
