professional learning opportunities to improve the effectiveness of educators so
as to foster student success and the achievement of educational standards.
ARAH DAVID - Antigua/Barbuda
PD provides a platform for us as teachers to develop both professionally
and personally. As I engage in various types of PD, it shapes the way I
think about my practice, and that aids me in adjusting new knowledge to
building lifelong experiences.

Professional development is the wide range of learning experiences that
teachers undertake individually or collectively to further enhance their
professional practice for high teacher efficacy and improvement in student
performance.
KISHA REMIE – Dominica
Professional development allows teachers to advance students
academically by meeting the teacher’s own needs that are constantly
changing.
