What do you see the role of professional development being in your career?

I believe that professional development is a great way to make sure that, as a teacher, you have refresh new ideas when it comes to teaching. And, you don’t fall into a slump. We have all heard the stories about the teacher who has been teaching for 20 years and does the same thing every. single. year. Pretty much a teaching zombie. Professional development is a great way to keep thinking about ways you can constantly be improving your teaching and making things new and exciting. Professional development is also a great way to make connections with colleges and see what other teachers in your area are doing.
