 Professional Development Plan – End-Semester Review
Teacher: Charlotte Roberts Academic 2016
Year:
C. Evidence of Progress Toward Specific Standards or Elements to be Addressed/Enhanced

This semester I have learned and progressed more than I have set out for myself. I learned
how to use technology to enhance student learning and bolster their learning experience. I also
learned how to use social media and web sites to showcase my work and display my growth as
a future teacher. I attended many PGU’s focused on creating an emotionally safe and
accepting classroom. In my field experiences I have had many emotional times where I helped
students advance and learn new concepts, leading them by example through my respect,
ethics, and acceptance of every single one of them. I arrived early to my field experience
every time and took advantage of every minute of it to learn, teach, and grow.

D. Goal 1 was successfully completed ​ ​YES ​☐ ​ NO​ ☐

Goal 2 was successfully completed ​ ​YES ​☐ ​ NO​ ☐
E. Future Plans (identify what your goals for the next semester of your teacher preparation program will be)
I plan to continue my high grades and achievements just as I have for this semester so far. I will further stress on PLT groups and creating
similar support groups after my experiences with them in ED 204 and EMS 204. I have learned many things from my experience that I wish to
implement and include in my own classroom. however , the openness to learning from others (professionals and colleagues) and having a
growth mindset, are the two most important takeaways and elements that have been enhanced in my professional growth plan and will
continue to be a significant part of my journey towards teaching. I plan to take as much as I can from my education classes to better myself as
a teacher. I will keep referring back to the EDTPA for resources and information that I found very valuable even this early in my college
career. I plan to take advantage of any teaching or volunteering opportunity to add to my existent ones so that I am not only studying about,
but also experiencing hands-on the different teaching occupations and groups of students with many different fascinating cultures and
backgrounds.
