A Reflective Process to Effect Meaningful Change in Pedagogical Practice

Abstract

Why is an inordinate amount of money spent on professional development not yielding expected results? Much of the growth opportunities offered to teachers is a passive process that does not engage them at a level where they will commit to making a change. Educators are learners as well and need to enter the learning process in the same way students do. Even with all social and political circles clamoring for change, the decision to do things differently must come from the teacher. Sometimes a simple process can be a game changer and can motivate teachers to embark and invest in the change agenda.
