Education professionals around the world recognize that classrooms need a significant amount of change to meet the demands of the 21st century job market. In order to change classrooms, professional development needs to be reflective of evolving understandings of the needs of 21st century learners. A 2012 report from the Teacher Development Trust in the UK states "where participants are not given structured, frequent opportunities to engage with, understand and reflect on the implications of new approaches and practices, neither extended nor great frequency of contact were sufficient to make substantial changes to teacher practice or improve student outcomes." This finding illuminates the need to provide teachers with sustained, job-embedded professional development that creates new pathways for developing professional growth mindsets.

However research shows that most current professional development has little or no impact on student outcomes. A 2013 report published by the US Centre for Public Education states that 90 percent of teachers participate in traditional workshop-style training sessions during the school year and these workshops often don't change teacher practice. This research highlights the gap between traditional professional development and in-classroom implementation.

This workshop looks at some of the challenges of traditional professional development and proposes alternative continuing professional development models.
