Professional Development Year-Long Plan

Understanding the processes, elements, and complexities involved in developing and implementing a year-long professional development plan is important for successful application. Drawing on the needs assessment data, surveys, and reflections from Topics 1-5, develop a year-long professional development plan for your school. The year-long plan should be divided into quarters, one professional development session per quarter. In 150-200 words each, include the following for each professional development session: The overall goal or goals for the intended audience. Goals must be specific, measurable, attainable, and include timelines. Alignment with state, local, and/or school/district policies and standards. Description and purpose of the goals of your school. Appropriate scaffolding of on-going professional development sessions . A variety of appropriate, research-based strategies, models, or techniques related to professional development (cite sources for each of the suggestions ). A list of resources or materials needed to complete the plan. Support your plan with 3-5 scholarly resources.
