ABSTRACT
Professional development is a high-cost proposition for school systems, with expenditures close to $18,000 per teacher in some districts (The New Teacher Project, 2015). The structures to support teachers include supervision, teacher evaluation, and professional development. However, some schools, and perhaps by extension the systems in which they reside, fail to connect these support structures to create seamless learning opportunities for teachers. If professional development is to make a difference, there is a need to bundle multiple learning opportunities to work in complementary ways.
