The PIQET Handbook for Continuous Professional Development Educators highlights the crucial role of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) educators—trainers, mentors, and facilitators responsible for in-service training of early childhood and primary school educators.

It introduces the PIQET Transformative Pathway, a self-improvement framework for CPD educators. It outlines key components such as self-reflection, shared understanding of quality, designing personalized learning pathways, and fostering change in practice. Practical examples from Croatia and Slovenia illustrate the application of PIQET principles in training and support programs. Additionally, the resource includes tools such as a Transformative Pathway Plan, Guidelines for Reflective Discussion, and a Professional Learning Community (PLC) model, providing actionable steps for CPD educators and organizations committed to quality professional development.

While CPD programs often focus on the development of teachers and practitioners, this handbook shifts attention to the professional growth of those delivering CPD, advocating for their recognition, support, and continuous improvement.
