• What Are Your Thoughts?

“Thinking about our work and improving what we do –

these things are professional development.

So is collegiality - teachers talking about their practice

and how to make it better.

It's a big mistake to think that

teaching is what we do every day and professional development

is an occasional seminar or workshop or institute.”

Anthony Alvarado 1998, p23
