Professional Development in general is helpful to teachers. It can provide ideas on how to improve their practise, it can provide reminders, and it can provide training on new skills. It is dependent however, on the quality of the facilitator and the willingness of the teacher to take on these ideas.
I can't help but think though.... If teacher training was more extensive and practical in the first place then facilitators wouldn't be so busy teaching BT's (beginning teachers) skills they should already have, but instead achieve their original purpose; add to the teaching profession.
