According to Shortland-Jones, Alderson & Baker, the school's professional development is equipped with vision, skills and incentives. Professional development is trying to deliver resources to our colleagues. With a lack in action plan, colleagues will feel like treadmill.
Similar case happens in the development in I.T. in education. However, it seems that the colleagues have to vision that I.T. can be beneficial to students, they simply don't have the skills. Most of them feel anxious when teaching in I.T.
Agree that the resources are very important for professional development, like providing education sponsorship to teachers so that they can take formal programs outside schools. After that, they could bring in what they have learnt from the programs and share knowledge with colleagues in schools.
