Through a case study approach, this research will inves¬tigate one of the best schools of Karachi in terms of its board results and probe to see how a school system encourages its teachers to develop them professionally. It is concluded that three models of teacher development were being followed unin¬tentionally at the school: Individually-Guided Staff Development model, Obser¬vation/Assessment model and the Training Model. The problem was that these models were not followed in their full spirit due to lack of motivation from the administration. Even though school systems are trying to professionally develop their teachers, they lack the competency as to how to conduct a successful teacher development program.
