Author: Jeanette Smith Title: Ms. Role: Building admin/coordinator Location: St. Thomas, VI Date: 11-21-00 Professional development is important as we make efforts to "professionalize the profession" of teaching. We need to demonstrate a real committment to this by providing the time for it. I have seen how interested teachers at CAHS become when we set aside meaningful time for professional development, especially when it involves technology. This takes time and must be continuous, not piecemeal.
