Professional Learning Goal Process
Step 1: Teachers complete the Self-Assessment Checklist. ● For each checklist statement, the teacher self-assesses their level of skill in that instructional practice by selecting one of three choices: ○ I would like to further develop my skills in this area ○ I feel confident about by skills in this area ○ I could teach others this skill Step 2: Teachers Develop a Professional Learning Goal. ● A Professional Learning Goal is a statement about the instructional practices that a teacher intends to implement to increase the likelihood that students will master the content . ○ Annual Professional Learning Goals focus on individual educators’ professional growth and are linked to projected student outcomes. ○ Teachers determine the instructional adjustments that are most likely to lead to students acquiring growth toward targeted skills (this is the Professional Learning Goal). ○ Teachers identify what evidence will demonstrate progress toward the Professional Learning Goal and how frequently this evidence will be collected to monitor progress. ● Teachers craft their Professional Learning Goal using insights gleaned from: ○ Self-Assessment Checklist ■ What skill or instructional practice did you identify as an opportunity for growth in your self-assessment? ○ Prior Year Evaluation Feedback ■ What skill or instructional practice would you like to focus on improving based on administrative feedback? ○ School-wide Goal ■ What has your school identified as the focus for the upcoming year? What individual Professional Learning Goal would support your school’s larger focus? ○ PLC Collaboration ■ What is your team currently working on? What individual Professional Learning Goal can support or enhance your PLC’s efforts? ● Teachers then consider: ○ What steps they need to take to achieve that goal. ○ How to monitor progress on their goal. ● Teachers then write a Professional Learning Goal that enhances their instructional practice by: ○ examining the information gathered ○ identifying action steps to implement the goal ○ specifying what evidence will demonstrate progress toward their goal ○ determining how frequently evident will be collected in order to demonstrate progress toward their goal
