The correct answer is C. Responsive to identified teachers' needs.
Quality professional development programs for teachers should be designed to meet the specific needs and goals of the teachers involved. This requires a deep understanding of the teachers' current skills and knowledge, as well as their goals for professional growth.
Programs that are responsive to identified teachers' needs are more likely to be effective and impactful, as they are tailored to meet the specific needs of the teachers involved. These programs can also help to build a culture of continuous learning and improvement within the school or district.
