The most useful ways of representing ideas 2. The most powerful illustrations and analogies for representing a concept 3. It makes learning specific things in a content area easy or difficult; 4. It bring kinds of questions that help to reveal and develop understanding 5.

It brings any assessment issues and clears any misunderstanding. * Professional development contributes to measurable improvement in one’s achievement. * Professional development is intellectually engaging and addresses the complexity of one’s job role. * Professional development is job-embedded and site specific that helps in the day to day growth of one’s knowledge and skills. * Importance:
