Hi Stephen, I wish you well in your graduate work on your Masters. Professional development as you know is a series of steps that help move you forward. In your Masters program you will have access to all types of learning theories and developments. Enjoy your time in the program as you see opportunities to improve your skills. Currently I am the advisor to 60 students working on their Masters programs. All of them are students like yourself who are experienced educators looking for additional professional development. They come from many different backgrounds and experiences but they all have the common thread of wanting more knowledge in education. What a joy they are to work with and to have as students. I know you are going to have a great program as well as develop many strong network ties to other educators from whom you can learn for years to come. Gary
