INTRODUCTION
The Professional License for teaching obtained after passing the Licensure
Examination for Teachers (LET) simply tells that the professional teacher
possesses the minimum competencies expected of professional teachers,
Hence, every professional teacher is expected to continue developing after
obtaining his/her professional license. This is one big demand for a
professional teacher. The Code of Professional Conduct for Public School
Teachers cited in Section 7 of RA 4670 states: "Responsibility is something
expected of a Professional teacher.

INTRODUCTION
The work of the teacher in the development and guidance of the young is a
tremendous responsibility for which he is accountable to God, to his country,
and to posterity. It is a trust of which every teacher should strive to be
worthy".
In fact, all professional teachers owe it to themselves and to the clientele
they serve to go through CPD. When doctors and nurses commit mistake,
he/she puts his/her mistake behind bars. What about the teacher? When a
teacher commits a mistake he/she multiplies that mistake. A professional,
therefore, cannot afford to commit a mistake. A professional needs to go
through CPD.

INTRODUCTION
The Phillipine Professional Standards for Teachers (the revised National
Competency-Based Teacher Standards) includes personal growth and
professional development as the seventh domain. With the enactment of RA
10912, the CPD Law of 2016, CPD for all the professions regulated by PRC
is now mandatory. Mandating CPD is the only way all professionals
including teachers are made to go through CPD. CPD for professional
teachers is not an option, it is a necessity. Continuing professional
development for professional teachers sharpens the professional teachers'
competitive edge in a highly competitive global world.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL
BASIS OF CPD
"Growth is an evidence of life" This implies that anything that is
alive grows or anything that grows is alive. So a teacher who is
alive grows physically, psychologically, mentally, socially,
emotionally, spiritually. If he/she doesn't grow, it means he/she
is no longer alive.
Presentation by Vivien Nathaniel Navarro | EDUC 39 | Cavite State University
THE PHILOSOPHICAL
BASIS OF CPD
"Man/woman is an unfinished project." For a professional teacher,
he/she is always in the process of becoming better and better as a
person and as a professional teacher. No person, no professional can
claim he/she has already "arrived" at a state of perfection. Neither
"Perfecta" nor "Perfecto" who is perfect by name is not perfect. This
means that no professional has arrived at a perfect state. This implies
that every professional is expected to continue developing.
