Abstract	This plan outlines the proposed professional development strategies and actions required for Maryland to achieve full success of the "Schools For Success 2000" school reform efforts. The plan's vision is reviewed and the leadership, resources, support systems, strategic alliance partner, best practices, and educational goals required to achieve the plan are examined. The state professional development in Maryland is described, and the nine design principles that define effective professional development and provide a framework for the design of the strategic plan are examined. These strategies to achieve the vision with professional development serve as the bridge between educational goals and student achievement. They are: (1) implement effective professional development practices linked to improved student performance across Maryland; (2) examine and realign existing support systems (i.e. time, money, technology, staffing needs, assessment, performance feedback, accountability, etc.) to create a cultural which encourages and sustains effective professional development; and (3) provide visible leadership and advocacy for professional development. Finally, implementation guidelines suggest ways to make these strategies and actions successful. Appendices include: action plan details; key elements of individual professional development plan; National Staff Development Council (NSDC) Standards; recommendations for The Educators Academy of Maryland (TEAM); survey comments on professional development from Maryland NEA Delegation (July 1995); "The New Consensus on Professional Development" (Linda Valli); Charter for Professional Development Plan Implementation Leadership Committee; and committee membership list.
