Abstract: The article focuses on a national study of how U.S. school districts allocate funding for teacher professional learning and whether current spending supports high quality development. It finds that spending has remained stable over two decades, with most funds devoted to personnel, and suggests that substantially higher investment may be needed to provide effective coaching and professional learning at scale.
