23. Meaningful Professional Development
Meaningful and lasting professional
development for teachers creates and sustains
professional learning communities. It supports
groups of teachers in acquiring and using
content knowledge, effective teaching
strategies, and materials. It establishes
opportunities for instruction, collaboration,
implementation, observation, and discussion.
It challenges assumptions and sometimes
long-held beliefs and assists teachers in
making the transition from them. The best
professional development is a tightly woven
tapestry of relevant and engaging content,
pedagogy not isolated from content, and
supportive follow-up.
