Abstract
This chapter argues that teaching standards have the potential to reform radically the professional development system for teachers, and to move control into the hands of the profession. It proposes a standards based professional development system. Goals for the standards are determined in the main by educational policy. Profession defined standards provide the basis on which the profession can establish expectations for professional development and accountability.
