Type 1 Activities/Programmes are also called “Teacher-Initiated” activities. In other words, these are the activities that are self-chosen.
Type 2 Activities are also called “School-Initiated”.
Type 3 Activities are those that are initiated by an employer or offered by providers.
Focus on Value:
Only record PD activities that help you grow as a teacher (e.g., skills, knowledge, solving classroom challenges).
Who Records What:
Type 1 (Your Choice): You log these in your Professional Development Portfolio (PDP). Use templates from the SACE website, CPTD Self-Service Portal, or call SACE.
Type 2 (School Activities): Your school reports these for you.
Type 3 (External Activities): Providers/Employers (e.g., government, NGOs) report these.
Portfolio Tips:
Show your growth: Write reflections on how each activity helped you (e.g., “I learned new math teaching techniques”).
Keep evidence: Certificates, notes, photos, or screenshots of what you did.
Reporting to SACE:
For Type 1: Send only the pages about Type 1 activities (not the whole portfolio) to SACE twice a year (June & November).
Type 2 & 3 reports are done by your school/providers.
Monitoring:
SACE or your employer might check your PDP during school visits. Keep it updated!
Remember:
Your PDP is like a teacher diary—track your learning journey! 📔✨
Always ask: “Did this activity make me a better teacher?” ✅
✅ Check your points online using the SACE portal.
