Hello again all,
Susan, you wrote:
"I'll offer just one example of how the role of professional development staff 
varies according to the diverse needs.  Depending on the size of an 
agency, an important goal might be to build the capacity within a program 
so that staff members and teachers can provide professional development 
for one another.  When building capacity within an agency is the goal, 
professional development staff play a critically different role 
compared to when we are supporting practitioners directly."

I'm wondering, are there other significant roles of the professional developer 
(like providing direct PD and technical assistance) that support teachers in 
benefiting from professional development?

All for now,
Jackie
