Professional development in educational leadership aims to provide educational leaders with the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively lead and manage educational institutions.

Action research projects are typically not considered a common type of professional development opportunity for educational leaders, as they involve conducting research and implementing changes in educational practices.

Educational leaders play a crucial role in creating a culture of continuous learning and improvement within their institutions, which encourages educational leaders to actively seek out and engage in professional development opportunities.

While professional development can contribute to improved leadership skills, increased knowledge, and enhanced problem-solving abilities, it is not typically associated with reducing stress and burnout.

Evaluating the effectiveness of professional development programs is important for ensuring that the programs are meeting the needs of educational leaders, identifying areas for improvement, and justifying the investment in professional development.
