This study suggested a five-strand model for secondary school ELT teachers to develop teachers’ professional development (TPD) at their own pace, particularly aiming to improve teachers’ speaking and listening skills. The reasons for this PD project were given. Different theoretical models related to teachers’ career development were reviewed and compared with the assistance of AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and DeepSeek to identify common ideas aligned with previous research before constructing the suggested model. Five common strands that help build an effective TPD model have emerged, including needs analysis, workshops, practices, personal learning communities, collaboration, and assessment tools. This project also provided theoretical frameworks for teachers to construct conceptual frameworks for their own PD model design. Based on principles of rhizomatic education, resources for each strand of this five-strand model were provided as ‘doors’ for teachers to implement further explorations. Limitations and recommendations for TPD were also given in this paper.
