Personal Growth Plan (PGP) Plan
p. 49 IPPAS Handbook
This template is to assist you in breaking down the steps of the PGP to make it more manageable. Please check the most updated rubric for requirements to score at the Distinguished/Proficient levels as these have changed recently. This template is to assist but does not replace checking your work against the rubric.
Rationale for the PGP Goal
- What does the data show? (Rubric 1)
- List and describe the data source you used (Proficient)
- List and describe the multiple data sources (Rubric #1), both quantitative and qualitative, used (Rubric #2)
- What were the results of the data? (Recommended to use whole numbers)
- In what areas did students struggle?
- Cite and describe the research that provides evidence based practice to address the need identified through the data.
Remember: This connects to your individual professional development.
Within school (Proficient-Rubric #3):
Beyond the school (Distinguished-Rubric #3): PD360, Professional Learning Library/Gale resource website, BEST site, FCRR, District Resource Teachers, etc
- Self reflect on your strengths and needs related to the data
- What are your instructional strengths?
- What are your growth areas based on the data?
- Are students involved in data analysis and/or instructional delivery improvement efforts?
(Rubric # 4 Distinguished “and”; Proficient “or”)
Professional Growth Plan Goal (Rubric #7)
Write one to two sentences that describe what *new* professional practices you will learn and implement.
“I will ______that will lead to enhanced student performance on ______. As a part of this effort I will ______.”
Ex. I will develop and utilize individual and group formative assessment practices that lead to enhanced student performance on the Florida Vocal Association Music Performance Assessment. As a part of this effort, I will create meaningful ways to involve students in both assessment development and progress monitoring.
What new skill are you going to learn and do that will lead to enhanced student performance?
*In order to be a “stretch” goal, this needs to be something new that is not part of your current classroom practice (Distinguished Rubric #7)
*With what School Improvement Plan (SIP) outcome does this connect? (Distinguished Rubric #5)
* Is it clear that this professional practice connects to your data?
Work Plan Strategies
What action oriented and sustainable strategies will you implement that you acquired during your professional development?
Action Oriented Verbs:
LearnDevelopImplementTeach
ObservePrepareParticipateDiscuss
Ask yourself:
Is it clear that these strategies directly connect back to your goal and to the need area?
How do you plan to develop and implement those strategies?
For “within school” (Proficient)
What teachers could you observe who are skilled in this strategy?
What teachers could you meet with to discuss these strategies?
For “beyond school” (Distinguished)
For each, describe the following plan to implement these strategies.
When will this strategy be implemented?
What in-process measures will you use?
Outcome Measures
This must reflect back directly to your PGP goal.
How will you show quantitatively (numerically) that your professional practice changed?
(ex. 100% of formative assessments will include high end questions)
How will you quantitatively show improved student achievement?
(ex. % of students will score at 80% or above on end of unit content area/nonfiction tests; formative assessments; GPA)
What qualitative outcomes will you obtain?
(ex. student surveys)
