2. What is Professional
Development?
Professional Development (PD) is the
Intentional and Practical attempts to be
better at whatever profession you are in.
So for us as Educators, PD for us is
deliberately seeking out practical ways
to improve the teaching & learning
process in the classroom.

3. Who Primarily Benefits from Your
Professional Development?
Even though ultimately, your students
and your school will benefit from your
personal and professional development,
YOU (as an Educator) are the primary
beneficiary of every PD effort.
Your institution may make it compulsory
but it better places you for effectiveness
in your work.

4. The Godly Rational For
Professional Development
So He (David) fed them according to the
integrity of his heart and guided them by
the skillfulness of his hands.
Psalm 78:72
As an Educator, you need both
The Integrity of your Heart and
The Skillfulness of Hands
to be effective in your assignment!
