“…The standards comprise uniform criteria required of all learners, and a framework and outline for planning, learning and evaluating achievements (Director-General's Special Bulletin 2006;Steiner 2000). Introducing standards into the classroom is a change and a system of quality instruction materials and PD is therefore needed (Clark and Carpenter 2006;Kimmel and O'Shea 1999;Tamassia 2006;Tucker and Codding 1998).…”

“…It is necessary to invest in the PD of teachers so that they will accept the change and implement the standards (Clark and Carpenter 2006;Kimmel and O'Shea 1999;Tamassia 2006;Tucker and Codding 1998). PD and instruction are supposed to afford a broader picture of the goals of the standards.…”

Teachers' professional development is a key to any educational change and is critical when leading and assimilating change, such as introducing standards into classrooms. A national professional development (PD) framework was developed for the implementation of science standards published by the Israeli Ministry of Education, which was activated before introduction of the standards into the classroom. In this research the authors examined the contribution of PD and instruction to the implementation of science standards and whether seniority (years of teaching experience) together with PD assisted in the implementation. The research combined qualitative and quantitative research methods. Seniority in teaching was found to help in implementation, even though veteran teachers usually find it more difficult to accept change. PD and instruction contributed to implementation of the standards by understanding the goals of the standards, focusing the teaching, implementing difficult standards, completing missing disciplinary knowledge, and mutual fertilization between teachers.

“…Peer-learning communities are intended to motivate teachers to learn continuously in the settings where they teach, apply skills and knowledge of improved curriculum practices, and stimulate job satisfaction through peer recognition of accomplishments in the classroom. Our peer learning community model was based on the best practices of professional development 1,14 , including time for collaboration, sharing and exchange of ideas 15 . Moodle, which is being used to foster the online community, allows teachers from different school districts, and different schools within the same district, to discuss the robotic surgeries taught within the program.…”
