Task 2: Develops a Professional Growth Plan
MSCIN Program, Western Governors University
The Reflective Practitioner- D629
A. Professional growth plan
Implementing a professional growth plan will help me improve
instructional practices and support my student's academic and non-
academic success because how a teacher teaches is as important as what
they teach. If I invest in reading the research, planning effective lessons,
setting goals, and attending professional development, my students will
benefit academically and non-academically. Reflecting on my students' social
and emotional health in my classroom will allow me to consider areas where
I can improve in non-academic instruction. By implementing a professional
growth plan, I can improve my teaching practices and watch my students
become more successful.
B. One nonacademic need
One non-academic need I have noticed in my classroom is for my
students to have a growth mindset to persevere through their reading
challenges.
C.Long-term PGP goal for non-academic need
By May of the 2024-2025 school year, I will improve my ability to
explicitly teach my students social-emotional skills and characteristics of a
growth mindset.
, C.1.a
This goal will address my students’ non-academic social-emotional
skills and growth mindset needs. I can achieve this goal by attending and
completing a 60-minute course to further my knowledge in this area. As I
navigate this course, I will implement various lessons in my classroom and
collect data using assessment tools.
Measurable: I will attend and complete a 60-minute social-emotional
course for teachers available on the CASEL website
https://leadingschoolwidesel.casel.org/courses/intro-to-sel
Time-Bound: I will use evidence-based assessment tools to target
social-emotional skills and growth mindset characteristics by May 2024-2025
school year.
Actionable: I will implement various lessons from the program into
my classroom to expand social-emotional learning and growth mindset.
