Professional development for teachers consists of attending meetings, trainings, and other in-services to improve skills and grow professionally. Educators must learn to communicate effectively and continue their education to be role models for students. School districts provide trainings and in-services for teachers, and the entire school community, including students, parents, and local colleges, must work together to make educating students a success.
