Teacher development is very important but it is challenging too when a teacher gets training and can't proceed with executing in school due to some issues.

Hi Aasia

Thanks for your comment - I agree that it can be frustrating if you are not encouraged to apply new ideas in your teaching context. I wonder how other people have dealt with this problem?

CPD is very vital for every teacher, and second evaluation is really necessary.

A teacher is always a researcher.

The teachers always have the same programme at school. Unfortenatuly they can't run in parallel with the students. They usually use different pace of work. It is a big problem for the students...
