Abstract
Education systems globally are undergoing deeper reforms across various nations. There is a universal agreement among scholars, educators, and policymakers agree that for these reforms to be successful professional development is critical. Governments around the world have therefore invested a significant amount of money on the continuous learning of teachers. Research conducted in the past and literature that is available has indicated that professional development given to these teachers has minimal effect on various teaching practices for the students learning. The paper describes professional development programs and the evaluation of teachers in the United States. It additionally provides the features of the current professional development programs and their effectiveness. Since the continuous learning of the teachers is a high priority to the United States, they have built a robust infrastructure that supports high-quality professional development to address the interest of teachers and meet their needs. The paper finally discusses the monitoring and evaluation of both these programs and the general teachers performance.
