Session OutcomesBy the end of the session participants will:• Understand how to support teachers with developing,
implementing, and reflecting on a meaningful professional development plan
14
Expectations• All teachers will develop and maintain an individual
professional development plan that identifies areas for targeted growth and learning.
• Completion of the learning opportunities within the plan will be considered a matter of professional responsibility.
Hawaii State Teachers Association Contract, Appendix VI, Section 5(c)(iii),p. 109

• Page 43 of the EES manual.....
• Professional Development PlanSelf-reflection is the true mark of a professional. Pursuant to the contract, “all teachers will develop and maintain an individual professional development plan that identifies areas for targeted growth and learning. Completion of the learning opportunities within the plan will be considered a matter of professional responsibility.”The Department’s professional development plan tool on PDE3 allows teachers to set goals for their own learning, collect evidence of completed professional development activities, track impact on students, and reflect on their progress. Probationary teachers are expected to set four goals using this tool. It is best practice for tenured teachers to set two goals a year when leveraging the tool to help compile and store documents to meet re-licensure requirements.

Effective PD Plan • Engages the teacher in a continuous cycle
of reflection, professional growth, teaching, and learning
• Identifies specific action plan with timelines

Continuous cycle of reflection,
professional growth, teaching,
and learning
What goal(s) will support the your growth and
development?
What support will you need to meet the
goal(s)?
What is your priority area for development and
growth?
Is the action plan supporting your goal? Are mid-course
corrections needed?
What worked well and what could you have done
better? What actions might you take to be more
successful next time?
Identify Area of Focus• Focus on priority area for development and growth • Support various career pathways (e.g. continuing education,
teacher leader, administrator, NBCT)– Self-Assessment
• Process by which teachers rate the effectiveness and adequacy of their performance, effects, knowledge, and beliefs for the purpose of self-improvement.
• Personal reflection about one’s professional practice, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
• Gives teachers input and control about their professional growth.• Helps teachers become more self-aware, enabling them to take a more objective look
at their practice.
– Administrator input• Observations, Tripod Student survey, Student Learning Objective feedback
– Activity• Using the Domain 4 rubric, evaluate your level of performance on all 20 elements
19
Goal Setting• Aligned with the area of focus• Self-directed professional inquiry• Focuses on the teacher’s learning and not student
learning• Identifies one to three goals• Characteristics of good goals for professional growth:
– Focuses on learning a new skill or teaching technique or about student learning;
– Outside of the teacher’s everyday teaching responsibilities;– Important to the teacher; and– SMART (specific and strategic, measurable, action oriented and
attainable, results-oriented, and time-bound

Identifying Quality GoalsStatement Quality
Yes/NoIf, no revise the goal
1. During the 2014-15 school year I will improve my captivate score on the Tripod Student survey from a 70% favorability to a 80% favorability by engaging students in learning through high leverage cooperative learning techniques (e.g. group and partner work)
2. I will implement a new reading series this school year.
3. By the end of the school year, I will take a leadership role in my department by assisting the department chair with the weekly agenda, problem-solving, decision making, and clearly and timely communication.
4. During the 2014-15 school year, I will participate in school projects
5. Improve my understanding of the school, complex, state and Federal special education rules and regulations by ensuring 100% of my IEPs are completed on time and accurately document the team meetings and decisions.
Activity: At your table, determine if the goal statement is acceptable quality. If not, revise the goal so it is.
21
Action PlanA good action plan helps the teacher understand the purpose of the learning and makes it relevant to his/her work.*• Describe the activities the teacher will participate in to support
his/her learning.
• Outline the evidence that will be collected to determine if the activities provided the right level of learning.
• Determine the level of supports and collaborators that are necessary to help the teacher be success with reaching the goal(s).

Reflective Practice
Effective teachers may reflect on their work formally or informally; for example they may review a day’s work mentally, keep a journal, meet regularly with a mentor or with colleagues, or assess a videotaped recording of their teaching.

ActivityWatch the Ms. Wessling video to learn how she
uses reflective practice to improve her lesson.
25
Reflective Practice
When teachers use data to reflect on what worked, what did not work, and what types of changes they might make to be more successful, the likelihood of knowing how to improve increases dramatically.
(Airason & Gullickson, 2006; Tucker, Stronge, & Gareis, 2002).
26
Documenting the PD PlanTeachers may develop their own template or use the ones in PDE3
Teachers work with their Principal to determine where to keep the plan: • Option 1: Fillable template in PDE3
• Option 2: Upload as an attachment in PDE3 under the core professionalism tab
• Option 3: Keep a hard copy on file at the school
