How are CPD units earned for teachers under RA 10912?

• A. By paid vacations.
• B. Through participation in accredited trainings, seminars, courses, and other CPD activities.
• C. By a single online course.
• D. By standard classroom teaching hours only.

Answer: (C)

CPD units for teachers under RA 10912 are earned by participating in activities that are accredited as continuing professional development. The law requires professionals to engage in accredited trainings, seminars, courses, and other CPD activities, with units awarded based on the activity’s duration and relevance. This framework ensures ongoing, diverse learning beyond regular teaching duties. A single online course can contribute if it’s properly accredited, but the overall rule is to accumulate units through multiple CPD activities over the cycle. Activities like paid vacations or standard classroom hours alone don’t count as CPD unless they’re part of an accredited CPD program.
