Professional Development Goals

Strategies (Actions)

At the beginning of the

semester or school year I
will make sure to take the
initiative to get to know
each student in the
classroom. By conducting
interviews, information
sheets, and talking to
parents and past teachers I
will learn about the
interests, strengths and
challenges students are
faced with.

Strategies (Actions)

Resources

-PD on different
exceptionalities and
strategies to help all
students be successful
and included in the
classroom.
-Promote activities
that honor diversity in
my classroom so that
myself as well as my
students will embrace
and respect differences
in the classroom.

Resources

Indicators or
Measures of
Success
-I will measure this
by self-reflecting on
the quality of
relationships I have
build with my
students. I would
create a checklist to
make sure that I
have identified
strengths,
weaknesses, and
interests for each
student in the class.
Also to make notes
on how to
differential when
needed.

An important strategy that I

would use to meet this goal
is learning my students
preferred learning style. By
doing a form of quiz to
determine the learning
styles I can make sure to
include instructional
strategies that meet the
needs and interests of the
class.

-Online quiz for

learning styles.
-Instructional
strategies from PD
session and online
resources.
-Visual, auditory,
written and kinesthetic
activities.

In each lesson and

when planning a
unit I will make
sure to include at
least 2 different
learning styles in
each lesson as well
as include a variety
throughout the
entire unit. I will
decide which styles
to use based on the
students in my class
as well as the
objective that needs
to be met.

Include a
variety of
instructional
strategies to
meet learners
needs.

While this goal may not be

meet during my PSII round
it is a goal that I would like
to begin working on. I think
meeting this goal is
incredibly important during
PSIII and my future teaching
positions. I would like to
begin the school year by
talking to each of my
students parents. I would
like to know what parents
think are strengths and
weaknesses of their child as
well as what areas they
would like to see their child
improve in. My goal is to
have strong communication
with parents so that they
can encourage and help
facilitate learning at home.

-PD and reading

professional books on
strategies to include
parents.
- Class website to
communication news
and events in the class.
-E-mail, phone calls
and interviews with
parents to
communicate positives
and any challenges
their child may be
faced with.
-Opportunities for
parents to be involved
directly in the
classroom.

Keeping a log to
note when and how
often
communication
with parents has
occurred.

Engage
parents in the
process of
student
learning.
