The program, developed as a CPD teachers\u2019 program for LSS (Learning Skills in Science), is based on the teachers\u2019 evidence of their best class practice. We researched the teachers\u2019 progression and development process, employing a unique diagnostic method \u2013 developed specifically for this project \u2013 based on the teachers\u2019 professional progression and profiles. The results provided grounds for the creation of several CPD models, which have since been implemented on a national scale into our various CPD programs for science teachers.<\/p>\n<h2>Links for further reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Scherz Z.*, Eylon, B. and Bialer, L., &#8220;Professional Development in Learning Skills for Science (LSS): the use of Evidence-Based Framework&#8221;, International Journal of Research in Science Education, 30(5), 643-668, 2008.<\/li>\n<li>Scherz Z.*, Bialer, L., and Eylon, B., &#8220;Learning Skills for Science (LSS): the Synergy between Design and Evaluation Methodology in a Reflective CPD Programme&#8221;.
