Evidence: Communicated with and sought out collegial support. Attended PD's and observed the teaching and learning in different classrooms and grade levels.
Teaching qualities and standards will continually improve as a result of PD. The knowledge of many is greater than the knowledge of one. A compatible functional team will generally produce better results then one individual working in isolation especially in todays world where knowledge and change are greater than ever.
