How has ipda developed and how is this development continuing?

The annual conference is the main event where members from across the association come together. There are also regional associations and the ipda is developing to support a wider international network of associations. Ipda also owns the Professional Development in Education journal (formerly the Journal of In-Service Education) which is published four time a year and is part of the ipda membership benefits. The journal is an important part of the academic contribution that ipda makes to professional learning and has a wide international community of readers and contributors.
