The present study concerns the development of teachers’ beliefs about students as a result of a professional development (PD) course. The PD course sensitized 234 teachers to individual learning differences (ILDs), based on style strategy. Five learning/cognitive styles tools were used. After the PD, teachers’ interventionist beliefs significantly increased, regardless of their ILD preferences. Neither the length of the PD nor the amount of teaching experience affected the teachers’ interventionist beliefs about students. The authors conclude that developing more effective teacher beliefs about learners should become a component of teacher professional development.
