Share Your Thoughts Regarding Teacher Professional Development Needs
The American Psychological Association (APA) is conducting a "Teacher's Needs Survey" to gain input from teachers about their professional development needs. The survey, which has been approved by the University of Maryland Institutional Review Board, is designed to gather information about "teachers' perceptions of professional development in several areas." The survey takes about 10 minutes and the information gathered is confidential.

Participate in this survey.
