The CPDLab project plans, develops and delivers three courses for teachers professional development. The main audience for the trainings are teachers and trainers involved in continuing professional development in education at school, region or country level. The courses will be delivered at European Schoolnet's Future Classroom Lab in Brussels.

Teachers in Europe are positive about using technology and use it outside the classroom, but they often lack guidance and quality training on pedagogical approaches inside the classroom. To address this, European Schoolnet’s CPDLab project (Continuous Professional Development Lab) has developed training courses to help participants make better use of new technology in the classroom, engage students with technology to improve motivation and results, and explore possibilities in the training venue in Brussels, a fully equipped Future Classroom Lab. The courses, aimed at secondary schools teachers, range from making the most of your IWB, bringing  eSafety into everyday teaching, and implementing new teaching and learning activities in the future classroom.

Each of the courses, with the first running at summer 2013, consists of ten modules that can be used independently and combined in different ways. This enables different learning pathways according to the need of different target groups. For example, in the eSafety course, the teachers can find more interesting the classroom-based modules, whereas the whole-school plan is more relevant for ICT coordinators, head teachers and policy makers.
