What is PD?
“Professional development is facilitated teaching and learning experiences that are transactional and designed to support the acquisition of professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions as well as the application of this knowledge in practice…..
Key Components of PD include
characteristics and contexts of the learners (i.e., the “who” );
a) content (i.e., the “what” of professional development); and
b) organization and facilitation of learning experiences (i.e., the “how”).”
