这些进展中固有的发展方法基于几个假设. In the interest of transparency, those assumptions are outlined here.
学习和教学是复杂的，因为它们涉及到人和关系.
我们从研究中得知，师生关系是成功学习的最关键因素.
In addition to knowing their content, teachers must know their students, how they grow and develop, their preferred ways of learning, their strengths and needs, and their worldview.
Teachers must know how to motivate, engage, 激励他们的学生，并在一个流动和有机的环境中做到这一点，这需要在多个学习者和学习模式之间不断地意识和调整, and often with limited resources and support.
Teaching expertise can be learned, develops over time, and is not linear
Expertise in teaching is knowable and teachable.
它可以被描述、被研究支持、被证明、被体验和被了解. 虽然有一个基本的实践基础，发展基准沿着一个连续体, 并不是一个人的表现的所有部分都以完全相同的速度沿着一个连续体前进.
Rather, a teacher's particular configuration of performances, knowledge, 性格也可能因某些领域表现优异而在其他领域表现较差而有所不同.
某些专业经验和支持可能会激发特定领域和领域的成长, conversely, 环境的变化可能会导致技能水平的暂时倒退，直到掌握新的环境.
Growth can occur through reflection upon experience, feedback, or individual or group professional learning experiences.
In order to develop their expertise, teachers must become knowledgeable about more effective strategies (know), implement them in a real context (do), gather evidence of learner response to the strategy (use data), reflect upon that evidence (reflect), if possible seek feedback from others like a mentor, coach, peer teacher or observer (get feedback), and then make adjustments (adjust), and repeat the cycle.
教师必须被教导如何完成这个循环，并且应该在他们最初的准备中留下技巧，以便单独或与他人一起反思他们的实践, and evaluate their practices against a framework of developmental growth.
当教师无法反映或认识到应该解决的教学行为时，就需要进行干预.
Development depends on context, particularly levels of support.
教师的知识和技能的有效性取决于环境，这些知识和技能可能在一个环境中很好地为他们服务，但在另一个环境中就不那么好了.
For instance, 一个改变年级的老师可能会发现他/她在某些技能上处于初级水平，现在需要教给更年轻的学生.
搬到城市环境的农村教师可能需要不同的策略来吸引具有不同优势和需求或具有不同生活经历的学生.
在支持学生的成长和发展时，教师与环境之间存在着一种相互的、迭代的关系.
It's about the teaching practice and not about the individual teacher.
这些课程的重点是教学实践以及如何改进实践.
关键问题总是这些:练习对学习者的影响是什么? Are the learners engaged? Are they learning, growing, and improving?
