AB  - Describes Australian teachers′ perceptions of their professional
development needs if they are to be successful in implementing emerging
national priorities. Also describes some of the outcomes of a nationwide
research project that was conducted with representatives of professional
teacher associations in May 1993. Discusses key questions such as: what
are Australian teachers′ immediate needs in relation to effective
implementation of emerging national priorities in school education? What
are teachers′ perceptions of “best practices” in professional development?
Concludes that Australia′s teachers will support the further development
and implementation of national priorities provided that a range of
professional needs can be met. Announcement of the $60 million National
Professional Development Program (NPDP) suggests cause for optimism in
this respect.
