D. Professional development needs
12. We’d like you to read over the list of things that we
consider to fall into the category of professional development for
language teachers. If there are areas of professional development
you feel we have missed, please add these in the place provided.
Then, please check the five that you consider the most important
for you at the present time in your situation.
E. Anything else?
We’re well aware that completing a questionnaire like this
can be somewhat frustrating if your situation doesn’t seem to
correspond to the categories given or the questions asked. For this
reason, in this section we offer a place for you to make additional
comments of your own relating to any of the areas covered above.
Please feel free to tell us anything you think would be relevant
to your own professional development or that of other LCTL teachers.
