REFLECTION

Reflecting on Results

Once your IPDP is completed, it is important to:

• Reflect on the results of the evaluation (end of year outcomes)

• Use the results as part of the needs assessment process for next year’s IPDP development

• Modify or discontinue the use of the professional development strategies if they did not demonstrate improvements in student performance.
