My research is looking at the way in which we can improve vocational teacher education at the higher level. I want to assess the way in which teachers use pd in their practice and was looking at the question of whether or not pd is used as a one off or how we can measure its impact in changing teaching practice.

How often do practice nurses in Australia discuss advanced care planning with their patients? Is the topic a routine part of a senior (75+) health assessment? What professional development opportunities have assisted nurses in this role? Do GPs prefer to take the lead in discussing end-of-life preferences? Your experience and comments will help to illuminate this area of primary care practice for me.

We emphasize the term "evidence-based" pertaining to 21st century education decisions. One of the more challenging aspects of the 21st century education movement is for making informed decisions related to pedagogy, curriculum, selection of models and programs, etc. based on evidence. However, at the same time I have found a disturbing prevalent pattern, at least in the U.S., in a lack of proficiency in understanding and using data by education decision makers, including superintendents, principals, and teachers. Almost everyone would agree that informing oneself with knowledge and understanding of the evidence is key to making your "best guess” as to what to try, continue doing, make changes in, or cease doing. Data understanding abilities and analysis skills, perhaps the most important and challenging elements that face inquiry-based instruction and learning, and the essence of scientific decision making, are sadly lacking for many of these education stakeholders. The issues posed by lack of these “data competencies” are a challenge to true reform in education, and especially for standards that emphasize supporting arguments with evidence. Some of this can be addressed in higher education through pre-service programs to aspiring teachers, teachers-in-training, and administrators. However, for obvious reasons, it is probably unrealistic to expect a substantial number of current stakeholders to go back to college to receive the level of training required to gain an adequate/functional level of data knowledge and skills. In-service programs can have some level of impact. But as a teacher, statistician, scientist, and professional development specialist, I have observed in many stakeholders a limited understanding as well as a less than enthusiastic commitment to learning how to understand data. Beyond the gathering and managing of student, cohort, teacher, school, and district data, what types of support can stakeholders (teachers, principals, and superintendents) use to increase their level of data literacy to inform themselves?

I have read some papers which talk about both positive and negative effects on professional identity, and I am interested in whether it is even possible to characterise the process of identity or of identity development in a way that means there can be 'negative' and positive' effects on it. Is a negative effect something that makes you 'less' of a person, and if so, how might we operationalise this? Or is that not a helpful way to think about identity development? My feeling is not, but thoughts please.
