SACE (South African Council for Educators) has a Continuous Professional Teacher Development programme (CPTD). The programme has activities which earn professional development points for SACE- registered teachers.

Under the aegis of the South African Quality Institute (SAQI), Dr Richard Hayward does SACE-endorsed activities, His provider number is NG 000000136 and the activities as of 31 January 2023 are:

* 1 An introduction to Total Quality Education (TQE)
   Duration: 6 hours
   CPTD point: 10
   The workshop adapts to education, the best leadership and management practices. These practices are found in the business, industrial and                     professional sectors. TQE identifies five pillars that are common to every Quality organisation. They are: Values, Leadership, Improvement Planning,       Communication as well as Techniques and Tools. The practical ways in which the pillars are applied in schools, are explained.

* 2 Conflicts occur in every school - let's resolve them!
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   No school is totally conflict-free. Conflict happens within every group and between groups of children, parents and staff. Yet quality schools manage     to deal with conflict in ways that usually have peaceful outcomes. Such schools keep conflict to a minimum and at low level. The workshop                     compares constructive vs destructive ways of dealing with conflict. Practical guidelines are given on constructive conflict resolution skills.

* 3 Does speaking in public terrify you?
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   Most teachers are confident speakers in their own classrooms. Yet outside the classrooms, teachers are often scared of speaking to large audiences.       Think, for example, of having to talk to parents a Parents' Evenings. Confident public speaking is an important professional skill for all teachers. The       workshop shares easy-to-follow ways to develop this skill. You'll see simple techniques used by any speaker who wants to move from being                   ordinary to becoming extraordinary. You'll learn how to overcome public speaking fears and actually be able to speak fearsomely!

* 4 Ethics is for everyone
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   Being a good teacher is far more than simply passing on knowledge and skills. Being a good learner is far more than being a diligent student. Being       a good principal is far more than being an efficient manager. There's a crucial extra that's still needed. 
   That crucial extra is the need to be ethical. What does that mean? Ethics guides us as how to treat others and how others should treat us. The                 workshop looks at what can be done to ensure that ethics are at the epicenter of the school. When a code of ethics is at the heart of the school, a           happy and high-achieving learning environment is created for everyone.

* 5 Growing Madiba's values in our schools
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   Nelson Mandela's core values are timeless. The workshop takes a brief historical trip of how he 'walked the talk' of true values during his lifetime.           There's a sharing of ideas on how we can make such values vibrantly alive every day in our own classroom and school.

* 6 Influential leadership levels and types
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   We're all influential leaders. We influence others in our roles as moms or dads, brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles. In our work places, we influence       our learners, peers and superiors. The programme looks at seven different ways of influencing others - from the worst to the best. There is an                 analysis of the skills and values used by positive influencers. By being influential leaders, we bring out the best in ourselves and those whom we           lead.

* 7 Introverted children: making sure that they shine
   Duration: 1 hour
   CPTD points: 5
   As a child, were you quite reserved? Even if you weren't, you are still likely to have had at least one such friend. Right now, do you personally have or     know of such a child? Too often, the quiet and reserved child is 'forgotten' in the typical classroom. The outgoing and  social extrovert is inclined to         dominate the lesson.

   This activity highlights both the quiet strengths of the introvert not only as a learner but also as a leader. Every introverted child can be actively but       gently encouraged to happily be part of school life. Guidelines will be given. The introverted child absolutely deserves a place in the scholastic               sunshine. Help such a child truly shine!

* 8 Is there a bully on your staff?
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   Much attention is rightly given to dealing with bullying amongst learners. However, what about the bullying that happens amongst staff members?       Just as there isn't a school at learner-level that isn't entirely free of bullying, the same applies at staff-level too. Teachers bully each other... if they           can get away with it. The workshop discusses various types of staff bullying. It also shows you how to deal with bullies before you yourself become       a victim. If you're already being bullied, you'll be given the skills to stop it right now.

* 9 "Klagtes! Complaints! How may we help you?"
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   The best and the worst of schools have to deal with complaints. Yet some complaints are fair. However, there will also be difficult, never-satisfied           parents. In the Quality school, having to deal with complaints and/or unreasonable parents are seen as challenges for professional growth. The               workshop looks at how Quality schools use a range of techniques to reduce complaints to a minimum. There's also a look at how to manage those         parents who would like to be troublesome.

* 10 "Should I leave teaching? I'm so demotivated?"
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic has made staying in teaching an even bigger challenge than ever before. There are those children and       students who have become more difficult to manage in the classroom. Teaching is tough. 

   Yet there are those teachers who have stayed in the profession for thirty or forty years... and happily too! Ten self-motivation strategies to being               enthusiastic teachers, are shared. The workshop will put the ENO- effervescence back into teaching!

* 11 Stop teacher stress completely... well almost completely!
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   Being a teacher is being a member of the third most stressful profession in the world. However, there are millions of teachers who've cheerfully             survived a lifetime in the profession. To get a grip on stress needs action. Practical stress-management tips are shared in the workshop.

* 12 The higher the teacher's EI (Emotional Intelligence), the better the teaching
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5 
   Yes, of course, being an academically intelligent person is important for every teacher and school leader. Yet the most successful educators are also       emotionally intelligent too.

* 13 "The kids are hell. What can I do?"
   Duration 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   There's no such thing as the class that is always perfectly well-behaved class unless it's under a reign of terror! However, millions of teachers are           able to have happy, hard-working learners. These teachers are able to tame these 'would-like-to-be devils' learners. Tried, tested and successful             discipline strategies used by these teachers are shared.

* 14 Why change? Everything looks OK!
   Duration: 2 hours
   CPTD points: 5
   The one-liner states it simply. There are two things that we can be certain of... taxation and death. Add a third. That's change! The workshop                   discusses the main reasons why there's often a reluctance to beneficial change and what can be done to shift such resistance. There's also a                     discussion on the steps to follow if you would like to guarantee that your change is successful.
