Time-Frame

Planning and
Preparation

To make sure I
meet my objectives,
I will have a unit
plan, and, more
specifically, a
lesson plan for
every class period.

I will measure this by

preparing a folder that
has a sub folder for
each day that will hold
my lesson plans.
(computerized, and
backed up on USB
drive)

The relevance will

be evident in my
lessons. They will
be precise,
engaging, and will
meet state
requirements.

I will have a complete

portfolio of lessons and
student assessments by the end
of my student teaching.

Classroom
Environment

I will maintain a
respectful and
culturally
responsive
classroom.

I will measure this by

attaining 80% student
participation and I will
gauge their levels of
respect towards
teachers and peers.

I will make this

attainable by
making it a part
of my daily
routine and
taking
professional
development
courses.
I will post
classroom rules
and teach
children to
respect each
other through
civil discussion
and positive
reinforcement.

Instruction

To ensure I deliver
the precise
instruction, I will
include an
anticipatory set,
segue into the
lesson, instruction,
check for
understanding, and
closure to every
lesson.
To ensure I meet
my professional
responsibilities, I
will maintain
positive
communication
with students,
parents, and faculty.

I will measure this by

amassing a binder of
my daily lessons and
ensuring that I include
an anticipatory set,
segue into the lesson,
instruction, check for
understanding and
closure.

Creating
respectful and
culturally
responsive
students is
relevant because
they are
imperative to
future success of
students.
The relevance will
be evident in my
lessons. They will
be specific,
engaging, and will
meet the Arizona
College and
Career Ready
Standards.

Since respect and cultural

responsiveness is something
that is taught and not told, I
will reflect on this daily and
make sure I relay the
importance to students. I will
also work with my
professional learning
community to improve my
classroom environment.
By the end of my first year, I
will have a complete portfolio
of material and lessons that
include anticipatory set, segue
into the lesson, instruction,
check for understanding and
closure.

This is relevant
because positive
communication is
needed to be
successful, not
only for myself,
but for students as
well.

I will reflect on this daily to

ensure I am being professional
and creating a positive rapport
with students, parents, and
faculty.

Professional
Responsibility

I will measure this by

evaluating classroom
communication,
parental
responsiveness, and
relationships with
faculty.

I will attain this

by ensuring that
include each
section in my
lesson plan and
seeking feedback
from students
and mentors to
make sure
lessons are clear
and concise.
I will attain
positive
communication
with students,
parents, and
faculty by
teaching positive
communication
skills and
implementing
what I teach.

Time-Frame

Planning and
Preparation

By using repetition and

preparing models for
students, I will improve
my planning and
preparation. Students will
understand expectations
and directions so they can
complete assignments
successfully.

The evidence will be

a monthly survey to
assess the students
level of
understanding. The
student surveys will
increase in success
by 10% each year.

This will be
attainable in the
sense that I can
embed specific
direction into every
lesson.

This is relevant to
students because
they will have a
clear understanding
of my expectations.

I will model the

correct procedures
August through
May and assess the
student surveys
monthly to account
for any
misunderstandings.

Planning and
Preparation

I will complete the

Planning and Training
Session offered online
through my district.

Classroom
Environment

I will create a classroom

culture where students
interactions convey effort
and engagement in
activities.

Classroom
Environment

I will create a constructive

sense of urgency in
academic and classroom
performance.

Instruction

To ensure students are

engaged, I will connect
lessons to real-world
situations, personal
interests, and other content
areas. I will also complete
the MIT training in
instruction to be better
prepared.

Instruction

I will vary the rigor of

assignments for students
based on their Lexile
levels, critical thinking
skills, and problem solving
skills.

Professional
Responsibility

As the varsity womens

golf coach, I will develop
a professional relationship
with students, parents, and
other coaches.

I will measure the

impact of the
strategies through the
use of a student
survey. The student
surveys will increase
in success by 10%
each year.
I will measure this by
gauging student
enthusiasm, respect
for others, and their
overall effort in
completing work.
The student
assessments will
increase in success
by 15% each year.
I will measure this by
recording students
knowledge of
classroom progress,
their demonstration
of intrinsic
motivation, and
gaging how students
value of hard work.
The student success
records will increase
in success by 10%
each year.
To measure
engagement, I will
have students
articulate
connections to their
personal experiences.
The student
communication skills
will increase in
success by 10% each
year.
I will measure this
based on student
performance
assessments
increasing by 10%
each year and I will
individualize
instruction based on
Blooms Taxonomy.
I will measure this by
conducting a parent
and student survey
that I can use to get
feedback and seek
advice from other
coaches. The student
and faculty surveys
will increase in
success by 10% each
year.

I will attain this

goal by completing
the online course at
my district.

This will be
relevant because I
will be more
prepared and better
able to assist
students in planning
and organization.

I will complete the

course by the end of
2018.

I will attain this by

posting objectives,
providing academic
support, and clearly
identifying
expectations.

The relevance to
students will be
active engagement
in activities and
superior work ethic
in completing
assignments.

I will review
student work daily
and make
adjustments as need
from August to
May.

I will attain this by

setting time limits
for the daily tasks,
providing written
and oral praise, and
having students
demonstrate pride
in their
achievements.

This is relevant to
students because
they will be
motivated to work
hard and take pride
in their work.

I will teach this

procedure on a
daily basis from
August to
December and
adjust as needed
until May.

I will achieve this

by providing real
life examples, direct
instruction, and
vocabulary
instruction that
connects to the
content.

The relevance to
students is their
personal connection
to the material and
their ability to
translate their
experiences across
the disciplines.

I will complete the

MIT training in
instruction by 2019,
and will connect
my instruction to
real life situations
on a daily basis.

I will attain this by

asking higher order
think questions,
plan activities that
are challenging, and
require students to
use direct evidence.

This is relevant to
students because
critical thinking is a
necessary skill for
development.

I will assess student

performance
weekly to ensure I
am varying
activities and
challenging
students.

I will achieve this

by conducting
parent meetings to
involve parents,
seek feedback and
guidance from other
coaches, and relate
to students through
shared interests. I
will also use
professional
development
meeting to improve
my coaching skills.

The relevance is
evident in the
positive rapport
built with students,
parents, and other
coaches.

I will complete the

survey in the first
month of golf
season and
complete a
secondary survey at
the end of the
season to identify
areas of
improvement. I will
complete the
professional
development
seminars by 2018.

Professional
Responsibility

I will develop
interpersonal connections
with students and faculty
by facilitating meaningful
interactions.

I will measure this by

having students
volunteer in class,
develop activities
that students will be
excited about, and
having students take
risks without fear of
getting a bad
grade.

I will attain this by

taking a CrossCultural Writing
seminar from ASU
that will help me
develop activities
that involve
students skills,
interests, cultures,
and exceptional
qualities.

The relevance to
students will be
evident in their
ability to articulate
aspect of their
culture and cultivate
their creativity in
reading and writing.

I will complete the

ASU Cross
Cultural Writing
course by 2018 and
will develop
relationships with
students and faculty
throughout the
semester.
