Using the Professional Indicator Rubric/Flip Chart, the Teacher Self-Assessment Tool, feedback
from the Post-conference, and your current Administrative Review, identify the Indicator/s
(from the Professional Indicator Rubric) or content knowledge that you wish to develop.
Current Practices (i.e.
instructional strategy rubric
indicator and/or content
knowledge) I want to improve:

Changes in teacher behavior/practice

(teacher evidence from the Flip Chart
or expected content knowledge gain
and effect on practice) I expect to
see:

Changes in student
behaviors and learning
outcomes (data) I expect to
see:

1 1.1d. How do I utilize

available technology to
collect, analyze, and
communicate student
data? (Danielson, 1996)

Include a variety of
assessments/checks for
understanding as a regular
part of instruction.
Determine students
understanding/mastery of
the lesson goals. Collect
and document student
progress using formative
assessment results.
Monitors the extent to
which formative
assessment guides student
learning.
Provide students with
recognition of their current
status and their knowledge
gain relative to
learning/behavior goals and
student personal goals on
an appropriate scale or
rubric
Monitor the extent to which
students are motivated to
enhance their status

Students know their

math levels by using
iReady and set a goal
level to reach by the
end of each grading
period

2 2.1 a. How do I
celebrate student
success? (Marzano,
2007)

Increase student
engagement and
motivation.
Increase scale/rubric
scores for students
personal goals

Step 2: Write Growth Goals (S.M.A.R.T.) (Specific, Measurable, Attainable,

Realistic, Timely)
Example: By the end of the year, I will increase my score on Indicator 1.1a - How do I involve
and guide students in tracking their own progress? from a rating of needs improvement to a
rating of effective and I expect to see these results in student behaviors and learning
outcomes.
Goals
Goal 1 By the end of the year I will increase my score on indicator 1.1d and I expect to see
results in student behaviors and learning outcomes.
Goal 2 By the end of the year I will increase my score on indicator 2.1a and I expect to see
results in student behaviors such as motivation and engagement.

Step 3: Develop an Action Plan

For A: Describe the professional learning you will engage in to improve your practice and
student learning.
For B: Describe the specific actions you will take, within your classroom, in order to improve

content knowledge.
For C: Describe actions you will take to monitor your progress and revise as necessary.

Step 4: Track Progress

Reflect and record insights about the strategies you have identified and practiced by
completing the three reflection boxes below.
Reflection Questions

Progress Reflection and

Monitoring

Midpoint
Progress Review with
Administrator

Final Progress Reflection

What am I learning about the

strategy or content?
How do I need to prepare my
lesson differently?
When I am using the strategy
or new content knowledge,
what do I feel is working well
for me in terms of evidences
of improvement in student
behavior and learning?
On what will I focus between
now and the next progress
check-in?
How am I tracking the impact
I have on student learning?

Goal 1: I will use iReady

data

To what degree were you

successful in meeting
your goals? What is your
evidence?

Goal 2: I will use student

survey data and
observation data.

How has your Deliberate

Practice Plan changed
your professional
practice?
