Understanding professional development is a key component in ensuring school improvement. This study examines the professional development experiences of 16 school leaders and staff members in the Northeast Region of the United States. This qualitative grounded theory study investigates the type of professional development experiences that result in school improvement. The literature revealed that professional development is a learning environment that enhances teaching practices and helps students reach their full potential (Elmore, 2002). Furthermore, the researcher connects the Learning Organization Framework of Peter Senge and its elements to the structure continuous professional development should play in schools. The study isolated several key findings, including the need for continuous professional development in schools that support teacher and student learning. Teachers must engage in collaborative meetings/team meetings to share instructional practices to improve the school. This study examined the professional development experiences of 16 school leaders and staff members in the Northeast Region of the United States. Using the ZOOM virtual conferencing platform, the researcher developed and utilized an interview protocol consisting of 12 open-ended questions. Participants described their experiences with professional development. Results showed that school leaders, teacher leaders, coaches, and teachers perceived professional development to be vital to school improvement by helping to improve participants' teaching practices with pedagogical practices, looking at data, collaborative meetings/teacher teams, and input in curricular decisions. They also detailed varied professional development experiences, highlighting lab sites, opportunities for collaboration, teacher lead professional development, and the benefit of building relationships. Teachers and coaches discussed the benefits of having a flexible school leader willing to pivot to support the needs of all stakeholders. Participants also revealed how their experiences with professional development aided students' social-emotional and academic success. Furthermore, they shared their desire for more continuous structured professional development. This study concluded with recommendations connected to policy, practice, and future research focused on professional development and its impact on school improvement.

Effective schools or improving schools are fashionable terms in the rhetoric of recent education movements, yet the heart of these movements is often more to do with teaching quality than with school practice. This book takes a holistic view of teacher development, examining the contexts and conditions of teaching: school leadership and culture; teachers' lives and histories; change; teacher learning, competence and expertise; and the moral purposes of teaching. Day looks at the conditions under which teacher development may be enhanced, and brings together research and other information, from the UK and overseas.
