"The power behind professional learning is that it requires an interplay or relationship between the learner, their needs, and the professional development being sought. It cannot be 'done' to someone, it needs to allow the learner to ensure that it addresses their needs. Of course, this often means that, in order to reach higher levels of performance, one often has to first know the right questions to ask and answer."
