Aspects of TPD activities to favourable workplace conditions to enhance teachers’ teaching knowledge, teaching skills and attitudes have been studied. This research was conducted to find out what the principals’ roles and support in promoting TPD in four schools in Hong Lam province, Vietnam. The study utilises multiple-site case study design relating to principal leadership and TPD in those schools.
