Implications for Teachers
Gives teachers the ability
to make ourselves more
marketable and build
portfolios
Teachers are always
looking to improve so
this is a good way to
obtain new skills or
refresh on old ones.
Changing the system to
reimagine professional
learning, rather than an
add on.
The resources help
identify what I need to
focus on and will help
do my PD hours on my
own pace and space.
