Professional Growth is an expectation of the Profession, so …
Next year you may not know something, realize that your students have a specific need, or be assigned to implement something new (i.e., a new way of teaching, evaluating, a new curriculum, a new report card). In most cases training will not be offered. This is where Professional Growth comes in as teachers are expected to take the initiative to learn on their own.

Teacher Portfolios
Dr. J. Barnett – Block 4/JI Methods
Put your laptops away and clean off the tops of your desks
Pick one person from your table to come up and see me
Dr. J. Barnett – Block 4/JI Methods
The people left at your tables need to assume the role of: principal, teacher, superintendent (there can only be one teacher and one superintendent but there can be numerous principals)
Read over the interview questions. Pick 10 questions to ask. Decide who will ask which questions.
Once you are done, send the superintendent up to see me.
Dr. J. Barnett – Block 4/JI Methods
What happens when you are done… The person being interviewed sends one of the
persons at their table to the hall. The interviewee takes on that person’s assigned role.
Read over the interview questions. Pick 10 questions to ask. Decide who will ask which questions.
Go and ask a teacher-candidate (person in the hall) to come in – can not choose a person who has been at your table today
If there is a problem put your hand up and I will be right there. I am the Director of Education!

Lesson Planning The way it is supposed to work:
① Introduction in Methods & PT
① a) Practice in Placement and in Content Subjects
b) FA governs the specifics of what you should be doing and need to add into your lesson planning – identifies areas you need to work on
③ Condensed and Daybook – Student initiative / professional responsibility
You are a student
(September)
You are a teacher-
candidate(end of
September – end of January)
You are able to function as
a teacher(February-March)
FYI(April, May, June)
Report Cards or NTIP/TPA, Exam, ABQs (ungraded), Graduation
Dr. J. Barnett – Block 4/JI Methods
Lesson Planning for the Final Practicum• During the first two weeks (February 8-
19) you continue to use the DILP and the ALP
• You may use Condensed Lesson Plan Format February 22-March 5 (if permission has been given from your faculty supervisor)
• March 8-26, you may use Daybook Planning (if permission has been given from your faculty supervisor)
Dr. J. Barnett – Block 4/JI Methods
Use the example in the Handbook (compare it to the full lesson elsewhere in the book for clarification)
Use the same lesson plan template you are used to using
Dr. J. Barnett – Block 4/JI Methods
Samples are in your PT Handbook
Create your own template which follows the sample in the Handbook (not the template your AT may use)
Easiest way to create one is to make a table, type in the appropriate heading (see elementary or secondary example), and adjust the cells in the table as appropriate
