While there is growing consensus that professional development should be sustained and ongoing, embedded in teachers� daily activities, and connected to their work with students, current school structures and schedules make this virtually impossible in many schools. To improve student learning, schools will need structures and schedules that provide time for complex teaching and long-term relationships � conditions that give serious, ongoing assistance to learners. This article describes how some schools � in the United States and in other countries � support that vision of teaching and learning, and discuss discusses the impediments that keep many other schools from doing so.
