Abstract
Professional development is integral for improving teaching and learning. This paper highlights research from a mixed methods study on the potential impact of a partnership providing teacher Professional Development (PD) at a school in Southern Alberta. In this paper, three main findings will also be discussed: (a) scheduled time for PD; (b) a culture of pressure and support; (c) changes in teaching practices. This research is valuable for leadership and those considering innovative ways to provide PD through partnerships.
