Intrensic - I will feel better about myself. Knowing that I tried to attain a new goal, master a new idea. Extrensic - this will affect your classroom. How you view yourself. I feel like my classroom changes with me. This year has been tough, but I feel like I have grown so much. I have stretched myself technically and accomplished small things. I love seeing how someone does something, reflecting about myself and how would I accomplish this. Another teacher came down and showed me how to download an activity for my class. Giving my kids the freedom to activities that will assist in mastery. How great is that!

Mrs. R's Tech Class Blog: Why Professional Development?
Mrs. R's Tech Class Blog: Why Professional Development?: "Through the process of completing the requirements for the professional development plan, I have realized what is missing from most teachers..."
I agree with you that it is an on going process for professional development. I have really pushed myself this year professionally to develop my skills. It has been hard at times, but a great feeling of satisfaction. Next year, I hope to learn something new again. It is exhausting. I wish our professional development could be what we want to learn, that does not always go with the district.

I appreciate your comments. However, I think we should always want to grow professionally. The profession we are in is always changing. If you do not accept a new concept there is the alternative. It is true that we do not get rewarded as much as others, but how can you push your students to achieve if you don't.

Professional Development
It is important to always stay updated in your profession whatever it may be. Our world is always changing. Whether you are a mother, student, educator or whatever people and time change. If you do not change, you will be left behind. I am a good example of this. I can remember when sending an email would scare me to death. I would always hit the wrong button or shut down the computer. Now, I have come a long way because of this world of technology. If you want to survive you have to know it. Just the other day, my doctor and staff are now using laptops in their office. He doesn't like it, but that's it. If you want to continue in college, you have to know about technology. Teaching is the same way. My principal said that technology and writing are going to become the most important tools in school soon.
Another reason it is important for me is that I am always wanting to improve things. Whether it be professionally or personally. I guess that I am like the Army's slogan, "Be the best that you can be".
