    Step 1 - Needs Assessment and Goal Selection

    Using the Descriptors of Practice page, find where each descriptor is addressed. Mark each with a circled number indicating which descriptor.

     

    Underline areas that indicate what the teacher can currently do.

    Circle where an area of growth for the teacher is mentioned.

     

    Put a checkmark next to each item below that is used in the assessment?

    · the priorities of your current job assignment
    · student needs
    · school’s data and school’s improvement plan
    · district initiatives
    · feedback and input from your growth team members in the above

    Is the learning for the TEACHER stated? If so, what is it?

     

    Is the learning clearly something NEW for the teacher?

     

    How well is the learning tied to the self-assessment 1 2 3 4

     



    Step 3 - Professional Growth Action Plan
