Professional developments are classes and training teachers have to take. Usually during non contract hours. They are worth points, and we have to have x amount of points to renew our license. They are usually people who have some great new theory about education everyone should try, so you try it and then next year they are on to the next one. Same crap new acronyms, more paperwork.

TDLR: long meetings outside work hours that you don't get paid for and are 90% useless.

Ah, yes. It was Round Robin reading, Edmodo, PBL, Flipped classroom, Parallel teaching, Station teaching, or Learning contracts. What are they doing new for this year?
