New approaches and techniques are consistently being explored, and the understanding of how to best educate students is continually evolving. Best practices from several years ago are no longer applicable as a result of the rapidly evolving technology and increasing globalization of the 21st-century world. Federal and state standards are also regularly changing, resulting in the need for further education on how this affects the teaching profession.

Professional development is a way for individuals and teams to expand and/or deepen their skills as educators. Most commonly, the focus of professional development for teachers involves learning new teaching techniques and methodology based on emerging research, as well as strategies for implementation. However, in addition to those components Unchartered Educational Networks offers professional development with a focus on general skills, such as interpersonal communication, sensitivity training, diversity and inclusion, relationship building and more.
