Absolutely! Participation in professional development is mandatory.

Professional development is part of SACE’s Code of Professional Ethics for educators. All teachers commit themselves to observe the code. Section 7 of SACE Code of Professional Ethics states that an educator: ‘must keep abreast of educational developments.’

Moreover, all state-employed educators and many privately-employed educators are required to undertake professional development as part of their conditions of service. Principals, deputy principals and heads of department are required, as part of their duties and responsibilities, to help educators to develop professionally. Principals, deputy principals and heads of department are also required to develop themselves professionally.

E-learning (electronic learning) is education conducted by electronic media, which typically means using a computer and the internet to access material that can form part of an activity or training programme.

Achieving SACE endorsement means that the relevant activity meets SACE’s requirements for “Fitness of Purpose.” This means that it:

• Aligns with identified system needs,
• Strengthens subject competence and professional practice
• Promotes professional commitment and system transformation

It is also deemed effective according to SACE’s requirements for “Fitness For Purpose.” This means that the respective outcomes are:

• Aligned with the overall purpose of the activity for the target audience and that the contents of the activity supports the achievement of the outcomes and that,
• The planned teaching and learning processes support the achievement of the outcomes and overall purposes and that,
• The assessment tasks are designed to enable members of the educational workforce to demonstrate achievement of the outcomes.
