Like Sisyphus, our educators are condemned to participate in the same poor quality professional development over and over with little hope of obtaining sustained support to lead to full implementation. The research on professional learning for teachers consistently points out the need to provide ongoing, robust support and coaching to transfer knowledge and skills learned in workshops to classroom practice. This type of support requires strong leaders with a strong understanding of what is required to drive sustainable academic achievement through improved instructional practice.
