Professional Development in Education (visit the publisher's website) is the official journal of the International Professional Development Association. It is a fully refereed international journal that publishes original contributions on the subject of continuing professional development in its widest sense: initial preparation as it affects induction; mentoring and coaching; professional learning; management and leadership of continuing professional development; the analysis of local, regional and national policies relating to CPD; and the work of Higher Education, advisory services and training and development organisations in supporting and promoting CPD. Contributions comprise scholarly discussion of new issues, reports of research in particular areas, reports of developments and contributions to debate on continuing professional development. Although the main focus of articles in the Journal is likely to be teacher education, we welcome contributions which discuss the policy and practice of CPD in other professions where the focus of the article is professional learning.
From the first issue of Volume 24, 1998, the journal changed its title from British Journal of In-service Education (ISSN 0305-7631) to Journal of In-service Education (ISSN 1367-4587). From 2009 the title is changed to Professional Development in Education.
