Abstract

This chapter highlights the effectiveness of teacher professional development to expand and support the implementation of project-based learning. Teacher professional development is essential for the growth of teacher content comprehension in the educational environment, confidence, and refining instructional learning segments. The purpose was to increase the capacity and implementation of project-based learning through teacher professional development that afforded distinctive methods in which teachers acted as a team with a variety of learning tasks, assessments, tools and materials. Consideration was given to educational collaboration and support, the influence of teacher mindset and self-certitude, resource impediments, and improving student participation. The results denoted valuable inferences of how professional development for teachers could guide the function of project- based learning in the learning environment.
