Teachers Crave Good Professional Development
December 18, 2017
Love isn't about what we did yesterday; it's about what we do today and tomorrow and the day after.

In an article in The Guardian, teacher Ross Morrison McGill makes a compelling case for why quality professional development should be available for all educators:
"Teachers, young and old, new and established should be given the time to develop; to share and to train in order to meet the needs of an evolving audience. This should not be left to those joining the profession, nor those 'on a course' or on some sort of 'leadership pathway.' Training and good quality development should be available to all.
My work is never complete. I never finish the to-do list; I always have something new to learn, something else to share with others or another strategy or resource to create, disseminate and evaluate. This is the true nature of the profession. Disseminating, learning, reflecting. We should all be given the time to learn frequently and in a robust, supportive and challenging manner that provides regular development that leads somewhere useful for the individual. At the moment, I do not think this exists for every teacher."

Its interesting to note that, as a teacher of early childhood teachers at a Colorado community College, I get very few opportunities to learn, unless I pay for them myself. This is true of all part-time teachers in Colorado. Luckily, because I write I generally stay up-to-speed with new information in the field.
