Professional Development... the need of the HourSchools Today

Schools today are facing significant challenges. There are students with different learning needs in each class, dearth of good teachers, critical education changes driven by government initiatives, high parental aspirations and a tangible societal focus on quality and equity.

stWithin the context of the 21 century, this means schools need to change, and even reinvent, themselves.

There is a need to make changes in the school organization, classroom arrangement, teaching learning resources and methodologies to meet the new demands and needs of the times. This cannot be a one off event. It will need to be an ongoing development process. Professional Development will thus need to become a part of the daily work life of educators.

High quality Professional Development is the key to ensuring that schools grow in the requisite ways.
