Professional Development Plan

(What do YOU need to work on in order to grow professionally?)
I believe that all teachers have different abilities in teaching and dealing with the students, so in my opinion, I think
that every teacher must be patient for the students. This is because each student has a different level of
understanding of the lesson and some of them need further explanation to understand the main idea of the lesson. I
Moreover, I need to plan well for my lessons with varied managing strategies and different activities to let students
learn and check their understanding of the lesson. The use of affective plenary to assess learning.
1. Choose and describe an aspect from a teaching competency that you need to work on (Goal):
In this lesson, I will be working on my questioning through doing the experiment and developing the
children observational and predictive skills. The use of scientific experiments is use to contextualize the
learning and learn through hands on experience.
2. Describe what you will do to help achieve your goal (Strategies Used) make a list of questions at
different levels of bloom’s when lesson planning:
I will ask students varied (differentiated) questions by drawing upon (blooms taxonomy) higher order
thinking skills. Also, I will use video imagery to link their prior knowledge and draw comparisons of what
they already knew and what new knowledge they have gained.
3. Describe how you can tell if you’re achieving your goal (Evidence) list of student responses, or
worksheets
 Grade Level: Subject: Learning Outcome (ADEC code and words):
Grade 4 Science I can identify what is the cause and effect of the flood.
I can explore what is the impact of the flood.

Title of Lesson: A brief description of my Lesson in my own words:

 Extreme weather (Flood).
The problem that students are trying to solve or
investigate (in my own words):
 Students will identify, what are the impacts of
flooding?
 Floods happened when the amount of a water body
increases and saturates the surrounding lands, it has
a negative effect on the houses and people who live
there.
The outcome or product of the students’ investigation
(i.e. what will the students be expected to produce at the
end of their investigation)
 At the end, students will explore what is the impact of
the flooding
The outcome or product of the students’ investigation (i.e. what will the students be expected to produce at the end of their
investigation)

• Students will be able to identify the cause and effect of flooding by watching the video.
 Students will be able to explore what is the impact of flooding by completing the village experiment.

Essential Question: Guided Questions:

 What is the impact of flooding?
 What do you think a flood is?
 What happens to the land when flooded?
 What do you think the causes and effects of flooding are?
 Has the UAE ever been affected by a flood?
 Where do you think floods happen world?
 Learning Outcomes (including strand and substrand)
• Students will be able to identify the cause and effect of the flood by watching the video.
 Students will be able to explore what is the impact of the flood by completing the village experiment.
