Abstract
A key premise of professional development is that it works. But there are few studies showing that teachers and students benefited from teacher professional development with some notable exceptions in the physical education literature. Moreover, there is little evidence that professional development maintains after it is concluded. I have concluded from both the literature and my experience that professional development (a) should be a continuous process rather than an event, (b) focus primarily on improving student learning and (c) and that it can have meaningful benefits for teachers. In this article, I present a professional development process called teaching rounds that is designed to meet these three criteria.
