Description

Introduction In 1998, Linda Darling Hammond argued that "teacher quality is the factor that matters most for student learning." This dictum was reiterated by Geringer (2003) who not only affirmed that a good teacher is a crucial factor in student learning, but stated that teacher quality outweighs the importance of standards, funding, and class size. Professional development is a common and necessary approach to improving teacher quality. However, while teachers are required to participate in professional development activities, it is often the case that they are not involved in selecting and planning those activities, and that professional development may not be closely tied to classroom practice.
