correlation between each of the main dimensions of professional competencies
and the main components of Teacher Development (TD) in elementary schools. The
study designed an applied research and used a survey method. The statistical
population includes all primary school teachers in Isfahan province (N = 1150).
Using a multi stage and proportional cluster sampling method, the sample size
