Planned Activity Time: A Scottish Experiment in Making School and Personal Professional Development a Compulsory Part of a Teacher's Contract of Employment.
Inglis, Bill; And Others
Research Papers in Education, v8 n3 p355-68 Oct 1993

PAT required that teachers devote 50 hours per year to planned school and professional development activities. Interviews indicated PAT was successful, though teachers criticized certain aspects and wished their opinions were included in PAT planning. (SM)
