Ongoing professional development is continuing education to increase and enhance our understanding of subjects related to the core competencies. As teachers, professional development is a priority of Washington state and we are given many resources to develop our skills every year. Techniques and approaches may change over time, so it's important to keep up to date. Also, we may have deficiencies that can be strengthened by going through professional development classes, seminars, workshops, etc. Ongoing professional development is continuing education not just for our own edification, but for the benefit of the children in our care as well.
