Abstract

This study examines the impact of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs on teachers’ professional growth in public primary schools in District Faisalabad. A sample of 104 teachers from 31 randomly selected schools participated, with data collected via standardized questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS. Findings reveal that CPD activities, including training and mentoring, significantly enhance teaching methods, leading to improved student attitudes, learning outcomes, and academic performance. Statistical analysis using mean scores, standard deviation, and percentages identified key factors influencing teachers’ engagement in CPD. The results emphasize the importance of ongoing professional development in improving teaching quality and recommend expanding training opportunities to support educators' continuous growth.
