The study adopted a qualitative case

Although, respondents commented that professional training which are conducted at their workplace help them to attain new knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and dispositions still within such dispositions there are pride, self – esteem, team spirit, commitment, drive, adventure, creativity, and vision. These findings indicate that teachers must appreciate and accept the need to grow professionally.
