Creating a Professional Development Culture: Managing Generational Change in the Victorian Education SystemRex Pirie. Provision of resources and availability of quality professional development is inadequate to meet the needs of the changing teaching profession. School communities and governments are more demanding of results and teachers' accountability for them. The teaching profession is undergoing generational change as the profession is renewed. New teachers are more professionally mobile and more demanding of support and success.
In this environment schools and their administrations need to be able to provide creative, flexible, needs- based in-service professional development to ensure that good teachers are trained, retained and that students benefit from their work in a vibrant and professional learning culture.
