Our school's MPD (Math Professional Developer), Ms. Domingo, shares how we do professional development during collaborative meetings in her blog. Guess whose classroom is this...

A recent study says students in European and Asian countries that devote more time to routine teacher development score higher than American students on math and science. The school district recently voted to do away with teacher development every Wednesday afternoon.
