No matter what kind of professional development you choose, you’ll experience some benefits.

How to decide what to do. At the beginning of the year outline goals and choose professional development accordingly. Determine your strengths and challenges as a teacher and face the real facts of the aspects of your teaching that you think really needs the most growth. This can be challenging to face, but our work and our students benefit from this kind of honest look at our own work. This is what it means to be a striving Waldorf teacher.
