Abstract:
There is an assumption that all teachers’ need career long professional development in order to develop and sustain themselves in ways that benefit themselves as professionals, the aspirations of the schools in which they work, and the achievement agendas of their governments. Yet it is clear, even now, that the purposes, practices, participation and outcomes vary considerably within and across countries. This short presentation will examine the tensions inherent in the present understandings of professional development.
