# Question 1: Why Do Teachers Need to Engage in Professional Development?

# Activity 1: Discussing improving practice

Here we want all the teachers in the school to come together to discuss why improving practice is so important. You might like to divide into smaller groups — for example into subject departments — so that everyone has the opportunity to speak. Each group could record their ideas (on a chart or on large pieces of paper) and then share with everybody else.

At the close of the discussion, make a note of the key points agreed. Then read the commentary and revise your key points as you think appropriate.

# Self Reflection

Self-reflection is important because it's a process that makes you collect, record, and analyze everything that happened in the lesson so you can make improvements in your teaching strategies where necessary. Share your self-reflection upon completion of Activity 1.
