Abstract
As professional educators, teachers of geography in primary and secondary education recognise the need to sustain their own professional development across the length of their teaching career. In some parts of the world this is a matter of professional requirement as a teacher. Continued registration and career promotion depend on explicit evidence of career development. In other countries, personal and professional development as a teacher is assumed to be intrinsic to the motivation to be and continue as an effective teacher.
