Teachers are a signinficant change agent in any society. Therefore, teachers are obliged to maintain current in all aspects of the education process.To do this, pofessional development must be an integral part in developing new methods or adopting new ways to use in the classroom. Nevertheless, professional development must be self-identified by the teacher, since it is the teacher him/herself who knows what the professional need is.
The exciting part of this is that there are as many PD formats as there are stars! As a professional, one must find what is that format that will suit your needs, keeping in mind that PD is not an isolated event, but a process in which one finds growth that will result in improving the learning experience. Grant you, this growth may start by an event, but it should not stop at that. Practice, review, assessment, discussions and sharing may be just some ways of expanding the PD experience.
