The idea — Paid CPD is not the only CPD. The most effective professional development often costs nothing and happens between lessons: peer observation, reading one article, watching one teaching video, reflecting on one moment.
In practice — Free resources: IATEFL webinar recordings, Cambridge English Teacher community, Underhill Sound Foundations videos, Scott Thornbury’s blog. One hour per week of focused engagement is more than most.
One-minute task — Write down one professional development activity you can do this week for free. Schedule it in your diary for 30 minutes. That is your CPD this week.
