Answer to Question 1

Professional development of teachers is central to school change. In fact, research shows that teacher quality is the most important variable in student learning (Rodriguez & Knuth, 2000). Teacher improvement can lead to higher student achievement and to systemic changes in schools. In addition, teachers can be refreshed and reenergized by working with peers, solving classroom problems, and learning more effective ways to support the learning of all students.
