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.
