Authors: Hofman Roelande H., Dijkstra Bernadette J.

The results show that networks that focus on (self-) reflection, that stimulate enthusiasm and are instructive, that build a community of teachers and that make room for application of new materials/methods in the classroom, are the most promising ways for professional development and job motivation.
