Abstract | Policymakers and educators see professional development as a way to improve the quality of instruction in classrooms across the nation, but the empirical literature linking professional development to improved student achievement is extremely thin. Logically, though, it would seem that the right kinds of professional development would improve instruction, and that better instruction would result in higher student achievement. Very limited empirical evidence suggests that such linkages may exist. In this article, the authors review relevant principles of organizational learning; the importance of knowledge of subject matter; and how rural circumstances interact with other professional development considerations.
