The first issue of "Transformational Professional Learning," a new online newsletter authored by NSDC executive director Dennis Sparks, begins with this statement: "My assumptions: The major purposes of professional development are to deepen understanding, transform beliefs and assumptions, and create a stream of continuous actions that change habits and affect practice. Such outcomes typically require sustained attention, study, and action of the kind promoted in this newsletter." If this statement intrigues you, download the first issue. And consider joining the National Staff Development Council! Citation: Sparks, D. (2003). Transformational Professional Learning. Retrieved June , 2006, from National Staff Development Council.
