Abstract	High quality teaching demands qualifi ed, knowledgeable and skilful teachers throughout their career (Day & Sachs, 2004). According to Kennedy (2005), promoting quality education in schools requires paying more attention to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of teachers which is considered an essential component for creating a positive impact on their pedagogy and teaching practices. The term CPD is used to “describe all the activities in which teachers engage during the course of a career which are designed to enhance their work” (Day & Sachs, 2004, p.3). CPD activities may include professional development meetings, attending internal and external courses and conferences, coaching and mentoring, joining PD networks, participating in refl ective discussions, and conducting action research and investigations (The Training and Development Agency TDA, 2007, p. 4). Guskey (2002) describes three aspects for the aspired change as major goals for professional development programs.
