This week, Maria Knee, Sheila Adams, and Lisa Parisi were joined by Ginger Lewman and Erin Fitzpatrick to continue last week's discussion on what is and what isn't Professional Development.  The conversation moved into how we get most of our professional development, what school districts provide for us, and what we can expect from teachers.
