Abstract
This applied research study aimed to improve teacher professional development to improve teacher’s instructional practice. The need to improve teacher professional development arose from ineffective instructional practices and low academic achievement ratings. This applied research study incorporated an action plan with three elements to improve teacher professional development training. The researcher used interviews, surveys, and students’ benchmark data to evaluate the program elements in the study. Using the abovementioned instruments and the school leadership team's collaborative involvement, findings support that improving teacher professional development can lead to improved instructional practices and build teacher capacity.
