I have been fortunate enough to have one or two good experiences in professional development, and our collaborative group has shown me how stimulating discussion with fellow teachers can be. However, in District-sponsored inservices, I have far more often found my self patronized, lectured, and demonstrated to death, with little opportunity for my true growth as a professional. Teachers typically leave these sessions grumbling to each other about another wasted afternoon.
