Developing an Individual Professional Growth Plan
Agenda Purpose of a IPGP Effective IPGP Planning Creating a Vision Connecting to Standards Identifying Performance
Levels (Personal and School) Writing Your Goals Developing a Plan of Action Evaluating Your Plan Creating a Portfolio
Purpose of the IPGP To assist in
developing long-range goals that will directly affect what is done in the classroom to improve student achievement.
Individual Professional Growth Plan
is a living document. can change as you grow and meet
your goals. should be reviewed and modified
annually with input from supervisor, critical friend, and colleagues.
is a mobile document that can move with you.
Why develop a plan? Job requirement Plan provides structure Goals lead to results: Senge says that
“goals represent commitment” Similar to walking into a classroom
without a lesson plan and no idea about what you want to accomplish
Effective Professional Growth Planning
Balances needs of staff, students, school and district
Focuses on student learning and connects individual needs to student needs
Reflects educational initiatives
Effective Professional Growth Planning
Includes reflection as part of individual learning and growth
Includes documentation of the outcomes
Utilizes the Kentucky PD Standards as a guide
Effective Professional Growth Plans are based on: School CSIP Your Practice Individual areas
identified by the SISI evaluation
Evaluates and documents your effort
Kentucky PD Standards
When Developing Your Plan
Clear guidelines and evaluation methods should be established for determining successful completion of your plan.
Schedule quality time with supervisors, critical friends, and colleagues to discuss what you want to accomplish.
Engaging in Collaboration Consider ways to
collaborate Develop joint
plans Involve critical
friends in the evaluation of your learning
Dufour and Eaker’s New Model “The learning community model
…..requires schools to function as a learning community characterized by a shared mission, vision and values, collective inquiry, collaborative teams, an orientation toward action and willingness to experiment, commitment to continuous improvement and a focus on results.”
Activity #1: Creating a Vision of Professional Development I want to participate in PD that …. PD that would inspire my interest and
commitment would…. My colleagues and I deserve PD
that…. Student learning will be enriched by
PD for teachers that…. PD should…. Effective PD will…….
Vision Statement for PD I will get the PD I want and need when it Is based on what is known about adult learners. Supports me in the change process as well as the change
itself. Presents content that has proven value in increasing
learning for my students. Is delivered through appropriate models. Builds engagement in collegial learning. Is data-driven. Provides opportunities for teachers as leaders, peer
coaches, and researchers. Provides adequate time for inquiry, implementation, and
joint work. Aligns the efforts of teachers, schools and the district.
National Staff Development Council Standards for Staff
Development
Staff development that improves the learning of all students.
Context Standards Process Standards Content Standards
Context StandardsStaff development that improves the learning of
all students: Organizes adults into learning communities
whose goals are aligned with those of the school and district (Learning Communities – SISI Standard 6)
Requires skillful school and district leaders who guide continuous instructional improvement. (Leadership – SISI Standard 7)
Requires resources to support adult learning and collaboration. (Resources – SISI Standard 8)
Process StandardsStaff development that improves the learning of
all students: Uses disaggregated student data to determine
adult learning priorities, monitor progress, and help sustain continuous improvement. ( Data-Driven – SISI Standard 2)
Uses multiple sources of information to guide improvement and demonstrate impact. (Evaluation – SISI Standard 6)
Prepares educators to apply research to decision making. (Research-Based – SISI Standard 6)
Process StandardsStaff development that improves the
learning of all students: Uses learning strategies appropriate to the
intended goals. (Design – SISI Standard 3) Applies learning about human learning
and change. (Learning – SISI Standard 3) Provides educators with the knowledge
and skills to collaborate. (Collaboration – SISI Standard 6)
Content StandardsStaff development that improves the learning of
all students: Prepares educators to understand and
appreciate all students, create safe, orderly and supportive learning environments, and hold high expectations for their academic achievement. (Equity – SISI Standard 4)
Provides educators with knowledge and skills to involve families and other stakeholders appropriately. (Family Involvement – SISI Standard 5)
Content Standards
Staff development that improves the learning of all students:
Deepens the educator’s content knowledge, provides them with research-based instructional strategies to assist students in meeting rigorous academic standards, and prepares them to use various types of classroom assessments appropriately. (Quality teaching – SISI Standard 3)
Why use the SISI, Core Content, POS, AE and KY PD
Standards? Grounded in research Addresses system and culture Uses process standards that
consider how professional learning is done
Uses content standards that examine what students must know and be able to do
The SISI and KY PD Standards can also be
used to Develop a knowledge base of
effective PD practices Develop proposal for program
improvement Develop funding proposals Analyze current programs Determine areas for improvement Design and implement IPGPs
Activity #2: Determining Your Professional Growth Based on the
SISI
Using the SISI Personal Evaluation Form identify your personal performance level on each indicator.
Next, using the same form, identify the performance level of your school.
Activity #3: Matching Your Scores to those of Your School
Look first at the standards and indicators where you are undeveloped or somewhat developed.
Match your lowest scores with those of your school, then narrow the list to two standards and the indicators where you wish to improve.
Activity #4: Using The PGP
Development Plan
For each of the two standards that you have chosen:
Identify the knowledge you wish to extend.
Identify the skills you would like to further develop.
An Individual Professional Development Plan includes:
GOALS
I will……….
In what area……..
And then……..
An Individual Professional Development Plan includes:
Basis for Your Goals•How is your goal linked to your individual needs – how did you identify your need and what reflection data did you use?
•How is your goal linked to the CSIP?
•How is your goal linked to student achievement?
IPGP Guidelines and Suggestions
Goals and objectives should be measurable.
Goals should relate to the school goals and priorities and the SISI standards.
Work only on items that you have time to cover efficiently.
Quality, not quantity is important.
Questions to consider: What do I want to
share as a result of my learning?
How will I judge the quality of my work?
How does my practice impact student achievement?
How do the school’s goals impact my goals?
How can I improve or strengthen my practices?
How can I work with others to address my goals?
Questions to consider: What skills,
knowledge or ability do I need to gain?
How will I know I have accomplished my goals?
What will I do when mastery is not demonstrated? (students, teachers, administrators)
What can I collect as evidence of my PD efforts.
Questions to ask for specific goals
Would student test scores improve if I worked more with teachers on inquiry in science classes?
Would examining student work help me to better understand specific student’s needs?
Example of a SMART Goal
As a result of using student discourse, the percentage of students in my room passing the mathematics proficiency test will increase this year by 20%.
Strategic and Specific – increase in number of students passing test
Measurable – 20% increase Attainable – possible to achieve Results-oriented – specific results
stated Time-bound – this year’s test
As a result of using student discourse, the percentage of students in my room passing the mathematics proficiency test will increase this year by 20%.
Strategic and Specific – increase in number of students passing test
Measurable – 20% increase Attainable – possible to achieve Results-oriented – specific results
stated Time-bound – this year’s test
As a result of using student discourse, the percentage of students in my room passing the mathematics proficiency test will increase this year by 20%.
Goals that are NOT SMART: Encourage students to accept
greater responsibility Prepare to move to block
scheduling Integrate technology into the
curriculum(Note: connection to CSIP goals,
strategies and activities.)
Steps in writing your goal
1. State the learning goal by using verbs that describe the learning that will result in improvement.
Example: I will learn about….. I will study…. I will gain an understanding
of…..
Steps in writing your goal2. State how the goal will be applied to practice
– will it be applied to curriculum, instruction, assessment, or supervision and what work will you do?
Example: I will learn more mathematics to
improve my content knowledge. I will gain an understanding of
diversity and how it will enrich my classroom.
Steps in writing your goal
3. Describe the evidence you will collect that you have accomplished your learning goal and it has had an impact on your practice.
Example: I will create a portfolio. I will analyze student work. I will create a reflective
journal.
Activity #5: Using The PGP
Development Plan
Write two growth goals that emerge from the two standard that you have chosen.
Techniques for Professional Learning to Use in Accomplishing Your Goals
Increase subject knowledge
Join study groups
Improve curriculum Conduct lesson study (tuning protocol)
Examine student work
Use technology
Conduct action research
Form partnerships
Examine case studies
Coach and mentor
Sample PGP Activities: Job-Embedded
Externships Peer coaching Grant writing Professional writing
(example:Reading First)
Activity #6: Using The PGP
Development Plan
Develop a plan of action to achieve your goals:
strategies/activities; timelines; who you need assistance from to
implement your strategies/activities
Evidence of Accomplishment
•What evidence will you submit to show what you have accomplished?
•When will you review your plan and make adjustments?
Activity #7: Using The PGP
Development Plan
Determine the methods you will use to: Show evidence that the activity or
strategy occurred Document the impact that the
strategy/activity has had on improving student achievement
Reflection Before you plan After you plan After you
engage in PD activities
Throughout the PD process
Basic Reflection Questions What happened? Why? So what? Now what?
Resource: Reflective Practice to Improve Schools: An Action Guide for Educators
by Jennifer York-Barr, et. Al.
Activity #8:Evaluating Your Plan
With your partner, respond to these questions when reviewing your plan:
Do the goals and the plan reflect your needs as well as your school’s needs?
Does your plan reflect new learning and growth, not just time and effort?
Does your plan reflect how student achievement will be enhanced?
Have you included methods of assessment? Have you identified evidence that you will gather?
Creating a Portfolio Activity log Samples of student
work Data and data
analysis Certificates of
attendance Published articles PowerPoint
presentations
Portfolios Should be organized and easy to
understand Have a clear connection between
materials and IPGP Reflect professionalism Cover a broad spectrum of materials
(address all 9 SISI standards) Include reflective pieces
