Gain a Complete Picture of Professional Development with CPD Journals

Track External CPD with Ease
Whether you’ve attended a workshop, completed a certification, or taken part in a webinar, the CPD Journal makes it simple to log your learning. Activities are categorised for clarity, and each entry can include a duration — making it easier than ever to keep tabs on your total CPD hours.

Reflect and Grow
Each journal entry also provides space to set objectives and capture personal reflections, supporting a more meaningful, reflective CPD process. You can look back on what you learned, why it mattered, and how it’s shaping your practice going forward.

Built-In Insights for Leaders
For admin users, the CPD Journal opens up new possibilities. You can now view colleagues’ journal entries and see how external CPD fits into broader organisational goals. Usage reports now include CPD logging statistics, giving you a fuller picture of CPD engagement across your team.

Built for the Bigger Picture
With recent Ofsted proposals including a greater focus on inspecting and grading the development of teaching and training, this new feature arrives at a perfect time. By enabling staff to log CPD activity from beyond the platform, the HOW2 app now supports a 360-degree view of professional learning and development.

Getting Started
CPD Journals are available to all existing TeachingHOW2s subscribers from today, at no additional cost. If you have a HOW2 account you can log in, browse to your profile and select the CPD Journal tab to start logging activities.

If you aren’t yet a HOW2 subscriber, get in touch for a demo or to discuss further details.

We hope you’ll find this new feature both practical and powerful. As always, if you have any thoughts or suggestions, we welcome your feedback.
