dc.description.abstractTeacher’s pedagogical skill is a pre-requisite for effective teaching in secondary schools worldwide. Continuous Professional Development (CPD) has been considered to be one of the best educational practices in building capacity of teachers to enable them implement the curriculum more effectively. CPD ensures that all school staff are proficient in teaching learning and are capable of supporting all learners in the school. Dedicating time to CPD is vital to ensure every staff member learns and grows within their role. The current study assessed whether Continuous Professional Development improved teachers’ Pedagogical skills in teaching. In a mixed method study, Raw data was gathered using surveys and interviews. Data was examined using SPSS version 18.0. Findings showed that 90% of the teachers agreed that Continuous Professional Development enhanced teacher’s pedagogical skills in secondary schools. The study concludes that continuous professional development is a vehicle for administrators’ and teachers’ improvement; it helps teachers enhance and acquire new ideas and skills and build confidence and competencies in teaching in secondary schools. It was recommended that CPD should be a routine so that all secondary school teachers’ capacity is developed to make them more effective in handling students. School administrators should consider CPD in their programming in terms of budgeting, allocation of study leave, facilities, and incentives.
