Abstract
It is important for South African teachers to be appropriately equipped to meet the
growing needs and challenges of the country. The dire need for suitably qualified
teachers is addressed in South Africa’s National Policy Framework for Teacher
Education and Development. This article attempts to address the problem of
how Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD), as stipulated by the
National Policy Framework, can be implemented to create a collaborative learning
culture in schools. The article uses the conceptual frameworks for collective learning
to interpret the literature and the findings.
