To deepen awareness of concepts of professional learning and professional development
Aim
To deepen awareness of concepts of professional learning and professional development.
Evidence and reflection
Try to write your own definitions of professional development and professional learning. In what ways do they differ, if any? Now lay these definitions aside and engage with the rest of the chapter. When you’ve finished the chapter return to these definitions and see if there are any refinements you might want to make.
Extension
Use your refined definitions to consider what it is you think you have done over the past year that constitutes professional development or professional learning.
