Continuing professional development (fortbildning) for teachers takes many forms: national programmes from the National Agency for Education (such as Läslyftet and Matematiklyftet), collaborative professional learning, university courses, conferences, and internal development work.
Responsibility
The school provider is responsible for offering teachers professional development. In TALIS surveys, Swedish teachers report receiving more professional development than the OECD average, but note that the need for subject-specific development is often not fully met.
