All those who have an impact on student learning need the highest quality professional development opportunities. 

Professional development has positive effects on teaching, resulting in significantly higher achievement scores for students.

Modifying a school staff’s teaching behaviors and causing effective school change requires long-term commitments from teachers and administrators, as well as those professionals helping them achieve that goal.

Transforming professional knowledge into daily teaching practices takes time.
