Effective staff development Much of the learning in a staff development event is informal and takes place in the spaces around the formal event (Eraut, 2004) Learning activities should be embedded in actual working practices, and should take account of peer-learning (Boud, 1999) Staff development works when the learning is experiential (Stefani & Elton, 2002)
