2. Why does a profession like teaching take long years of initial professional education and
continuing professional development after these long arduous years of initial professional
education?
Because teaching requires not only initial professional education, but also continuing
professional development. After one begins professional practice, he or she needs to
improve his or her knowledge and skills. These are done through master’s and doctorate
degree or seminars and conventions. Continuing professional development not only helps
one renew his or her professional license, but also encourages one to be more up-to-date,
well-informed, and self-regulated. In fact, it helps one improve and stay on top of his or
her profession.
