Rationale: Teachers need to be able to adapt to ever-shifting teaching conditions. To do so, they must develop the habit of continually updating themselves as professional educators. They must find ways to question and reflect on their day-to-day teaching rather than accept current practices as necessarily the best practices. They should encourage students to evaluate their teaching and ask colleagues to observe and evaluate them, and they should recognize how they can adapt and refine their teaching in light of their own processes of reflection and others’ insights into their teaching. They should also know and be able to gain insights from sources of up-to-date information related to evidence-based practices on teaching/learning and their subject area—journals, seminars, professional associations, etc. They should value means available within and outside their schools—workshops, conferences, and advanced coursework—for professional growth. Finally, teachers should recognize that by fostering their own professional growth they will not only improve their teaching and their students’ learning but that they will also set a positive model of life-long learning and enthusiasm for their discipline—as well as other activities and avocations in their lives—which their students can emulate.
