Abstract
Professional Development is widely accepted as being essential for the evolution of teaching and education. Historically this would have been the domain of HEIs and Local Authorities, overseen by national government. As schools become increasingly autonomous so teachers have begun taking responsibility for their own Professional Development. Examples of DIY CPD include: TeachMeets, social media (e.g. Twitter forums #EdChat, #UKEdChat, #SLTChat) and private providers (e.g. video classroom observation firm IRIS Connect).
