11

C

To improve students’ ability to

interpret literary techniques (e.g.,

foreshadowing, allusion,

symbolism), I will incorporate clear

systems and routines for assessing

student understanding during the

lesson, based upon data from my

Coaching Development form.

A

Based upon feedback from my

appraiser’s most recent observation,

I will set and implement effective

discipline management procedures

that will increase the amount of

time students spend on task.

B

I will utilize flexible instructional

groups based on student learning

needs to improve comprehension of

non-fiction literature considering

my 2017 SAT scores on Reading

Comprehension.

Making Connections

Elements of the IPDP: Professional Development Activities

12

Definition: Learning opportunities the teacher will take advantage of within a certain time period to improve practice in the focus area. A focus should be placed on individualized and targeted professional activities as

opposed to district-wide learning sessions.

Watch a sample video on leveled-grouping and

create a plan for introducing this concept in

my classroom.

Observe an experienced teacher on my campus

who is adept at differentiated instruction.

Elements of the IPDP:Appraiser Support

13

Actions the appraiser will take to help the teacher make growth on this professional learning target. This may include providing expertise, connecting the teacher with coaches or peers, providing targeted

observations and more.

Connect [Teacher] with [Other Teacher] who is an

expert at differentiation strategies.

Provide materials and guidance to scaffold

teacher learning about [Focus Area].

Key Ideas

16

Teachers must take charge of their own

professional development and growth.

Appraisers are there to support the

teachers throughout the professional

growth process.

Both a teacher’s instructional practice

and students’ learning outcomes should

improve as a result of professional

development.
