Great questions! Time is one of the biggest issues for professional development in any field. The teacher teams agreed to meet before school every two weeks. The article reported on the first year of the program, and the principal planned to make some schedule changes that would allow the teams more time to work together. I don't believe that any special monetary incentive was offered.
