EXAMPLE Professional Development Goals
During the upcoming fall semester, I will identify AASL EXPLORE standards and overlapping KS PreK-12 Exploration (#2) and Research Inquiry (#3) standards to instruct grades 4-6 in use of models to use as roadmaps for moving through the research process in three instructional sessions in each of two class projects.
At the beginning of the fall semester, I will introduce AASL EXPLORE standards for learners and overlapping KS PreK-12 EXPLORATION (#2) and RESEARCH INQUIRY#3(3) to the teachers in my building. I will make arrangements to partner with teachers to instruct grades 4-6 students in three instructional sessions in each of two class projects.
Use your professional development goals in your annual evaluation to provide evidence of what you do to increase student learning and achievement.
