After all, no one knows our classrooms better than us. We know the biggest obstacles, challenges and strengths.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, we are provided with many opportunities.

And keeping all of our classroom&#8217;s special characteristics in mind, we can find a way to implement new strategies. Professional development is not just about seeking out the latest and greatest in education and using ideas that are easy to implement. It also requires us to customize what we learn and apply into our particular situation.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What is something you learned about and implemented in your classroom?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  We read and learn about various strategies, research and ideas in newsletters, journals, or professional development courses.
