Section 5(b) of the SACE Act no.31 of 2000 as amended by the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act (2011) provides SACE with direct CPTD mandate by saying that SACE must manage a system for promoting the Continuing Professional Development of all educators (CPTD Management System) . In addition, on 26 April 2007, the Minister of Education promulgated the National Policy  \nFramework for Teacher Education and Development in South Africa (NPFTED) [Government Gazette No. 29832] . Section 53 of the policy framework states that,  \n“…the South African Council for Educators (SACE), as a statutory body for professional educators will have overall responsibility for the implementation, management and quality assurance of the CPTD system. SACE will be provided with the necessary resources and support to undertake that role”  \nWHAT IS THE CPTD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM  \nIt is a system for recognising all useful teacher development activities:  \n• By approving quality and credible professional development providers  \n• By endorsing relevant and good professional development quality activities and programmes  \n• By allocating professional development (PD) points to such activities  \n• By crediting each teacher’s CPTD account / record with the PD points they have earned  \nBASIC STRUCTURE OF THE CPTD SYSTEM  \n(a) Educators will engage in three types of SACE Endorsed Professional Development (PD) activities and programmes as follows:  \n• Teacher initiated activities also called Type 1 activities: Activities initiated personally by an educator to address his/her identified needs. For example, enrolling for an ACE programme, writing an article for an educational publication, attending a workshop, material development, participating in professional learning communities, engaging in action research in your own classroom)  \n2  THE CPTD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM  \n• School initiated activities also called Type 2 activities (Activities initiated by a school to address, for example, common needs identified by a group of foundation phase educators. Other examples include, attending  \na workshop/course as a school focusing on discipline in your school, attending staff meeting, responding to some of the identified needs in your School Improvement Plan, participating in a subject committee, implementing interventions that respond to the Annual National Assessment / National Senior Certificate School Diagnostic Report)  \n• Externally initiated also called Type 3 activities (Activities initiated, for example, by providers such as, the Provincial Education Department or Teacher Unions’ Professional Development Institutes, Higher Education Institutions, NGOs, Private Providers, or Professional Association to address educators’ needs. For example, participating in activities that respond to the education system’s priorities, CAPS Training, Subject Content Knowledge activities, activities addressing literacy and numeracy, activities responding to the ANA/NSC National or Provincial Diagnostic Reports and NEEDU report, and others)  \n(b) Educators will earn their Professional Development Points from each of the three types of the SACE Endorsed Professional Development Activities  \n(c) SACE will allocate professional development (PD) points to educators’professional development activities according to a schedule of points approved by SACE  \n(d) Each educator will be expected to achieve 150 PD points on their PD points Account in every three year cycle.  \n(e) SACE will issue a Certificate of Achievement to each educator who achieves the 150 PD points within the three years as follows:  \n• Bronze Certificate of Achievement to each educator who achieves 150 PD points within the ","cbCaithYmKt62dYW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaithYmKt62dYW","pdf",3170664,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n## WHAT IS THE CPTD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM\n## BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE CPTD SYSTEM\n## PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PORTFOLIO\n## CPTD SYSTEM PHASED-IN IMPLEMENTATION","[{\"question\":\"Who is responsible for managing the CPTD system in South Africa?\",\"answer\":\"The South African Council for Educators (SACE) manages and implements the Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD) System, supported by the Department of Basic Education and provincial education departments.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the three types of SACE endorsed professional development activities?\",\"answer\":\"Type 1 activities are initiated by the educator; Type 2 activities are initiated by a school; Type 3 activities are initiated externally by providers such as provincial education departments, teacher unions, higher education institutions, NGOs, private providers, or professional associations.\"},{\"question\":\"How many PD points must an educator achieve in each three-year cycle, and what certificates are issued?\",\"answer\":\"Each educator is expected to achieve 150 PD points in their PD points account within every three-year cycle.
