“Every proposal for educational reform and every plan for school improvement emphasizes the need for high-quality professional development. One constant finding in the research literature is that notable improvements in education almost never take place in the absence of professional development. At the core of each and every successful educational improvement effort is a thoughtfully conceived, well-designed, and well supported professional development component.” Thomas Guskey, Evaluating Professional Development
