Reflecting on Results
Once your IPDP is completed, it is important to:
• Reflect on the results of the evaluation (end of year outcomes)
• Use the results as part of the needs assessment process for next year’s IPDP development
• Modify or discontinue the use of the professional development strategies if they did not demonstrate improvements in student performance. 16www.schoolofeducators.com

Why focus on Teacher Professional Development?
Research shows that each dollar spent on recruiting high-quality teachers and deepening their knowledge and skills nets greater gains in student learning than any other use of an education dollar.
(Ferguson, Greenwald, Hedges, & Laine as cited in Darling-Hammond, 1997, p.1)
