Duane, What was meant by specific courses to be taken and timelines for accomplishment was intended to convey the idea that you set up a specific professional development plan as an instructor. The specific courses would be those in areas such as cognition or learning preferences that an instructor wanted to learn more about. As for experience it is essential in the total process of professional development. You have a long and varied history in the classroom so I know you have extensive experience and expertise that can be shared with students as well as other instructors. Keep up the effort to share your knowledge with others. Gary
