The self-directed track includes trainings offered by non-accredited CPD providers. Which option correctly identifies this track?

• A. Professional track
• B. Academic track
• C. Self directed track
• D. Administrative track

Answer: (C)

Paths for professional development are distinguished by who offers the learning activities. The self-directed track is defined by learner-initiated, autonomous development and explicitly includes trainings from providers that are not accredited by CPD authorities. This opens up a wider range of sources—workshops, online courses, or self-study projects—that a teacher can pursue on their own and still earn credit, as long as there is evidence showing how the learning translates into teaching practice. The key idea is learner initiative and the demonstrated impact on practice, rather than relying solely on accredited programs.
