  Increasingly, schools are held directly responsible for the professional development of their staff. This book is intended to help primary, secondary and special schools plan and implement their professional development programmes. The author provides practical guidelines for promoting professional development within a positive school culture, focusing particularly upon planning for processes of needs identification, school review, design of in-service events, teacher records, school evaluation, teacher appraisal and the role of management in professional development. She attempts to provide opportunities for all who are serious about professional development to reflect upon its purposes, processes and outcomes and to plan sensitively, practically and intelligently for the continuing committed and skilled support of teachers and teaching.
