October, 2012

Topics:• Intent of PDP• Elements and Components of PDP • SMART PDPs• PDP process• Types of PDP; Rollover & Preliminary• Accessing and completing initial PDP in NCEES• Next Steps

Intent of a Professional Development Plan

• Is to focus professional efforts to further develop the capacity of an educator, by identifying and addressing their needs so that their knowledge and skills are enhanced to better support improved student achievement

Elements of an Individual Professional Development Plan

Essential Components of a PDP• Goals are results orientated rather then process orientated

– i.e.. .increase text complexity of informational text & literature rather then implement common core

• Activities, actions or strategies that support realization of the goal are defined

• Outcomes and evidences are authentic, demonstrable and measurable

• Resources and support needed to accomplish the goal are identified

• Timeline reflects mid and end of year process check on progress towards goals

Data sources to inform goals for individual PDPs

• Summative evaluation from previous school year• Self–assessment• Recent student achievement data • School improvement goals

Effective Professional Development Plans meet the SMART Criteria when applied to the entire plan

Suggested Process for PDP Development

• Review data sources and input from administrator and mentor if appropriate• Identify potential focus areas (2 or 3)• Draft a PDP with all sections completed in NCEES

• Mentors can assist Beginning Teachers• Solicit feedback from administrator on draft PDP

• Virtually or in conference• Finalize initial PDP• Administrator authenticates, then teacher and then mentor

PDP templates in NCEES• NCEES has two types of PDP templates

– Rollover & Preliminary • “Rollover” PDP template was automatically generated at the

2011-12 summative evaluation• If a teacher is at the same school and district they where in

2011-12 this will be the PDP template they use• If the teacher is new to the profession, transferred in from

another school or district, then they will not be able to utilize the “Rollover” PDP and will need to generate a Preliminary PDP
