Goal A5.1 (Individual Professional Development), and Goal A5.2 (Job embedded professional development) on the STEM attribute rubric require
that teachers participate in monthly job embedded and professional development related to their individual needs. STEM monthly meetings and
professional development planning days have been organized to address the needs of teachers identified on beginning of the year surveys and in
individual meetings. The attendance at PD sessions is as follows:

Self- assessment data indicated that attribute 2.3
increased from a developing level (2.63) to a
prepared level (3.3).
We were above 85% percent proficiency and above
the district average and comparable schools in 6-8
Reading, 6-8 Math and Math 2. We have more
students taking Math 1 than any other middle
school.
achieve this level, teachers need to participate in 30
or more hours of PD. Currently our average is
around 12 hours per teacher.
We will continue to increase teacher
professional development opportunities
throughout the year. Teachers currently rated
themselves at an early/developing level (1.7),
though the PD tracking tool indicates that all
teachers but one have completed a semester’s
worth of professional development.
We were below the district average and
comparable schools in Math 1.
Plan is to be written from December 6, 2014 to March 1, 2015.
