In addition to topics covered in the first two editions (professional learning communities, teacher study groups, critical friends, etc.), the third edition includes updated job-embedded professional learning information and resources, case notes, and implementation examples demonstrating “what works.”

A very clear, well-written and useful text for planning and carrying out professional development. It does what it says on the box.
