Long time, no post

Hello, everyone. It's been a while since my last post (the holidays got the better of me!) I have just started a class on HRD and imagine my posts for the next few months will be influenced by that. In fact, I have been working on a literature review of scholarly articles on professional development in EFL teachers in public schools. The paper reviews professional development programs in 7 different nations, and I am using an HRD lens to look at issues common to the programs. I started this work as part of an HRD course I took last year. I find that HRD's focus on performance improvement, training and development, organizational development, and expertise is really helping me gain a clearer understanding of issues, particularly expertise, in professional development in EFL. If anyone is interested in finding out more, please post a comment and we can take it from there.
