Are you an x+1 teacher? Teachers who value PD are.

   Are you an x+1 teacher?  Why aren't all teachers x+1 teachers?

  If  x  is the number of students that pass a given teacher's course using a given teaching practice, an  x+1  teacher is a teacher that believes that improving his/her practice through PD is worth it if only one more student passes.

  An x+1 teacher is always making adjustments, always trying to do better, always looking for ways to engage and teach.

   X+1 teachers value PD because it might just lead to the key to help that next student pass.
