Individual Professional Development Plan

(Teachers)

 

 

Name                                                                                                  Date                                                   

 

Recently enacted higher performance expectations placed on public schools have brought with them a near mandate that ALL professional development for teachers be aligned with goals and activities that assure improvement in student achievement.  Goals I thru IV and the activities listed that support those goals are derived from nationally research-based fieldwork (Pathwise) that has proven successful in improving student achievement.  Goal V and the activities listed that support this goal have been developed for those educators whose Professional Development Activities/Plans include helping other educators grow professionally.

 

To complete your Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) please select R only three of the five goals listed below as your Professional Development Goals.  Under each goal you have selected, please select R at least two Professional Development Activities that appropriately describe professional development  in which you plan to participate over the next five years.

 

 

Please Note:  This completed and signed 5-page IPDP (Form #1 & Form #2) must be submitted to your district superintendent’s office at the same time you submit your renewal packet.
