SACE Login teachers

The South African Council for Educators (SACE) has implemented the Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD) Management System to assist educators in enhancing their skills and competencies. This post will delve into the SACE login process for teachers in South Africa, focusing on the CPTD Information System (CPTD-IS) and the significance of engaging with the portal.

Understanding the CPTD Management System

The CPTD Management System is designed to provide educators with a structured approach to ongoing professional development. SACE works closely with stakeholders, including teacher unions and provincial education departments, to facilitate the implementation of this system. The initiative was established to support teachers in their professional growth and ensure they have access to relevant resources.

The Importance of SACE Registration

To participate in the CPTD system, educators must first register on the CPTD Information System. This registration is crucial as it enables teachers to earn professional development points through SACE-endorsed activities, workshops, and training programs. The system has been phased in over the years, allowing for a structured rollout to various educator cohorts:

  1. 1st Cohort: Principals and Deputy Principals (Cycle: January 2014 – December 2016)
  2. 2nd Cohort: Heads of Departments (Cycle: January 2015 – December 2017)
  3. 3rd Cohort: Post Level 1 Teachers (Cycle: January 2016 – December 2018)

Each cohort is crucial in creating a supportive environment for ongoing professional growth in South African schools.
