Professional Development is a process by which individuals take control of their own learning and development, by engaging in a continuing process of reflection and action. The process can be both empowering and exciting and can stimulate people to achieve their aspirations and move towards their dreams.
âWhen it comes to a professional development course or continuing education program for teachers, my best advice is to do your homework. Make sure that the course or program meets all of their needs for both their career and learning goals.
