Abstract

In this applied project the focus is on the importance of professional development for secondary classroom teachers.

Then the importance of professional development for secondary content area teachers is addressed. Finally, a presentation, along with handouts, is presented about how a year of guided professional development can be used to help secondary content area teachers improve their instruction.
