Continuing professional development (CPD) of VET teachers and trainers is widely recognised as crucial for their skills, teaching performance and well-being. However, there is a lack of comparable evidence on its effectiveness, drivers and barriers across the European Union. In this fourth Policy learning forum on VET teachers and trainers, Cedefop will officially launch its new European Vocational Teacher Survey (EVTS): Supporting VET teachers’ professional development.
The main aim of the EVTS is to provide new evidence on the opportunities, experiences, challenges and other factors affecting the CPD of representative samples of teachers working in initial VET schools, at ISCED level 3, across 23 EU Member States. The EVTS is a unique survey, as it will provide directly comparable data across these countries and will enable the collection of robust data to inform the design of EU and national policies that can improve VET teachers’ participation in high-quality and accessible CPD.
