Personal Reflection about PRC Resolution No. 2016-990

          "There is no system in the world or any school in the country that is better than its teachers. Teachers are the lifeblood of the success of schools" - Sir Ken Robinson
The Professional Development is important for because the education is an ever growing and ever changing field. This means that a professional teacher/instructor must be lifelong learners in order to teach each new group of students. For me, a personal responsibility of professionals is to keep their knowledge and skills current, so that they can deliver the high quality of service that safeguards the public and private school. It is good to know that the Continuous Professional Development helps the team continue to make a meaningful contribution and to make them more effective in the workplace. It will assists to advance in career and move into new positions where they can lead, manage, influence, coach, and mentor others. If we all know the saying, Experience is a great teacher, it does mean that we tend to do what we have done before. We need to focused on CPD that opens up to new possibilities, new knowledge and new skill areas that can deliver to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a professional. The CPD ensures the capabilities keep pace with the current standards of others in the same field. Also, the CPD maintain and enhance the knowledge and skills to deliver a professional service to customers, clients, and the community. If the members or team ensures the knowledge stay relevant and up to date, they will become more aware of changing trends and directions in professional. The pace of change is probably faster than it's  ever been. But if you get left behind, the currency of knowledge and skills become outdated. I believe that professional development is very important for us especially to educators because it allows each individual to share, network, and remain current in the field. Professional Development is an ongoing process, which prepares educators to develop and expand upon their skill and knowledge. It benefits individual, their profession, and the public.
