Licensing and Portfolio Building for CPD Assessment

This is one of a series of four sensitization areas hosted by Cledor Education under the auspices of the National Teaching Council (NTC), titled Sensitization on Education Policies. All in-service teachers in public and private institutions within the selected districts are encouraged to participate fully to, among others, gain deeper insights into the Teacher Portal Ghana (TPG), teacher licensing and registration, and learn all there is about building their portfolio for CPD assessment.

Purpose

This part will equip in-service teachers to navigate the TPG with ease. Following that, it will equip participants with knowledge and understanding of their portfolio requirements for CPD assessment and how they will compile portfolio records for upload to their portal.

Objectives

Participants will

  1. Understand the rationale for building a professional portfolio
  2. Analyze the expectations of portfolio assessors
  3. Familiarize themselves with the portfolio rubric
  4. Compile portfolio records for upload to their portal in TPG
  5. Gain insights into all possibilities presented within the TPG
  6. Use the TPG to manage all their licensing, CPD, and portfolio-related activities

Program Certification

Participants who meet the workshop requirements will receive a Certificate of Attendance issued in electronic format.
