Guide for Professional Learning (PSIII Goals)

Assessing Professional needs:

I recognize the following areas that could guide my planning for growth this year: Communicating learning expectations clearly and confidently to the students (setting daily/weekly expectations) Using technology in the classroom effectively (both teacher and student use)

Planning for Growth:

Relevant school goals: Move towards objectives-based teaching, testing, and marking

Other school initiatives: Achieving bilingualism for their students Differentiated instruction (dedicated instruction time for subject assistance)
