“…For instance, Korean teachers, according to Korean appraisal and promotion policies, have to participate in professional development (PD) for 60 hours every year. Various types of PD have increased, such as online modules, long-term workshops and school-based activities (Kim & Lee, 2020). Among them, school-based PLCs have developed as a bottom-up force for teacher professional development in Korea (Lee & Kim, 2016).…”
