The fact that teacher professional learning comes so late in the process does not in any way imply it is less important than the other steps of the planning process. It is critical and its position in the process can be ascribed to the fact that decisions about professional learning are subject to decisions about e-learning and technology planning, which in turn reveal specific professional learning needs.
