Professional development is defined by its impact. PD is successful if, after the learning experience, the learner can do something else, or do something different. PD isn't PD if the learner doesn't change, if the learner doesn't learn. Sometimes this learning is evident in the PD session itself, and sometimes the learning isn't evident until a later date, but it's the learning that defines PD.

New behaviors can generate new beliefs, and new beliefs can generate new behaviors. We'll explore this more in the next section.
