Page "Transformative learning" Paragraph 26

Transformative learning about teaching occurs when educators critically examine their practice and develop alternative perspectives of understanding their practice.

It is essential that this becomes the role of professional development.

With this taken into consideration, the role of professional development is to assist educators in bringing awareness to their habit of minds regarding teaching.

When this occurs, educators critically examine the assumptions that underlie their practice, the consequences to their assumptions, and develop alternative perspectives on their practice.
