Taking a personalized and global approach, this timely volume links theory with application in the context of continuing professional development (CPD) for teachers, exploring current scholarship on teachers’ CPD and charting the shift towards continuing professional learning (CPL).

Chapters look at concepts such as motivation, expertise, career trajectory, life story and empowerment, as well as their influences and respective roles in the personalization of teachers’ professional growth during their career. Presenting the principles of personalization and their significance for teachers’ CPL, this book provides a global perspective and model that clarifies the practical implications of the move towards teachers’ personalized CPL, including the necessary changes in both teachers’ attitudes and teacher education frameworks.

Offering a unique and innovative multidimensional ‘template’ model that works as a tool for teachers interested in structuring their professional learning, this book will be useful to practitioners and researchers involved with teachers’ professional development, school leadership, school management, as well as international and comparative education research more broadly.
