There were 110 teachers of elementary schools and junior high schools taken as samples using cluster proportional random sampling. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and documentation and analyzed by descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation. Based on the analysis results, it was concluded that the development techniques used in the Teacher Working Group meetings can be classified into five, namely lesson planning, doing workshops, teaching demonstration, lecturing, and having discussions.
