RESEARCH ON PRE-SERVICE AND IN-SERVICE EDUCATION
Develop Tools for Effective Communication of the Principles of Learning to Teacher Education
14. Examine the efficacy of professional development activities.
The recommended research above is a factor in “promoting teacher learning.” Educators must take advantage of the “evaluations” that are asked of them after a professional development activity. Also, administrators need to gain feedback from the teachers to find out if the in-service training was effective or not. If teachers did not gain any knowledge or new insight from a particular in-service training, it does not make sense to implore such an activity the following year. When professional development is ineffective, the administration should look into revising the program so that time and money is not wasted on ineffective training.

I agree about filling out the evaluations for professional development and letting the administration know if you got something good out of the workshop. Or they should give some time to put what we learned in practice and then submit our evaluation.
