Experience Matters: Maximizing the Growth of Veteran Teachers takes a fresh look at an often-overlooked resource in our schools - veteran teachers. The books shows how insightful professional development can give teachers with eight or more years of service new perspectives and changed attitudes by respecting and building upon their experience in the classroom and their commitment to children and learning. In it the author shows how a core of tenured teachers develop the ability to reflect on the connections between assessment and teaching practice. It provides a powerful model of transformative professional development and a repertoire of instructional strategies that not only benefits children, but also provides veteran teachers a much-needed confirmation of competence, as well as an opportunity for intellectual growth.
