Receiving your degree is a good foundation to start your career but it is not or should not be the end of your educational journey.You will have many opportunities to participate in professional developments. Some of these development opportunities are mandated by your school division. These opportunities can be very useful but over time, if presented the same, may be more relevant to new educators coming into the district.
When it gets to this point for you, seek out new opportunities to develop yourself. Expand you horizons, find conventions or conferences that will cause you to see things differently or build on what you already have learned. Do not let yourself get stagnant or to comfortable in the things that you know. Our world is changing, don't let it leave you behind.
You could also share what you know with your colleagues and with those that are coming into the field. You may find that these experiences are very educational for you, especially if you have interactive sessions and research out what you are going to teach. This will give you an opportunity to listen to others share their ideas. You may be able to take these ideas back to your classroom and implement them or share with your colleagues.
