All teachers are expected to write an IGP/Reflective

Journal in the 2nd year of implementation in TAP

schools. The IGP/Reflective Journal is a record-

keeping document and log to support teachers in

their own professional growth and to ensure that

growth in classroom practice is clearly connected

to measureable increases in student achievement.
