Making the transition to working within a team can be both exciting and daunting. In schools today, most professional development focuses on job-embedded tasks. The rationale is that the substance of professional learning is within the schools, “in the workplace, not in a workshop” (DuFour, 2004, Spring). Due to the changing nature of professional development, even that term is being replaced with more inclusive language. ‘Professional learning’ is now preferred over ‘professional development’.
“From a program director’s point of view, the most exciting element of implementing ASAP has been the flexibility granted to us to adapt the wonderful features of ASAP to our own district and program needs. The technical support has been outstanding. Only three months into implementation, we can already see professional growth in our program participants due to their involvement with ASAP.”
