X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 X-Mailer: Atlas Mailer 2.0 Status: O Content-Length: 936 Lines: 7 I think that change occurs in us when we've tried something and proven that it works. In a very real sense then, the learning changes our behavior. When we attend PD workshops or read articles, if the insight fits into what we believe, then we're likely to try it to test it. In the world of training, we can teach them, and get them to practice in a classroom environment, but unless behavior changes, then we haven't really made a difference. With teaching PD concepts, though, there are some things that I'll learn and tuck away for later use if I don't have immediate applicability for the new idea or skill. That doesn't mean that I didn't learn and develop professionally as a result of the training; it just means that I haven't used it yet. BTW, sorry about the response yesterday. I thought I was replying to Eileen rather than the list. I'll look more carefully next time! (See? I learned from my mistakes.) Jean Marrapodi
