PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT...

Professional development has already been a huge part of my student teaching experience. I have witnessed what my cooperating teachers do for professional development and it is important to stay up to date on what is new in the district and in the classroom. It is important to stay on top of the new resources and groups that are part of the teaching community. My cooperating teaching just took an IPAD class to improve her skills and learn how to implement IPAD use in the classroom. Keeping up with the new means you are most likely up to date with the kids, which makes you the teacher more relatable.

There is always something new that teachers are having to learn or adapt to, it is pertinent that you try to find out what is available through school. At both schools I have been student teaching at, they offer certain classes for teachers and they also implement new information and curricula through professional development days.
