This report I will be discussing my professional development plan and how I managed to

achieve my goals for this semesters PDP, I tried to achieve my goals during my teaching

practice and collected some evidence of my work to get to my goal for this year, and I wrote

this professional development plan because I want to gather information on ways that I can

improve myself during this semester and work with the teachers professionally and be able to

identify the mistakes I made in earlier semesters and work on them, because, if I want to be a

professional teacher and asses students learning, you need to develop yourself every time you

make a mistake teaching, teachers need a professional development plan or a “PDP” and all

teachers should be actively working on their plan, to assess where they are now and make

development and change to their teaching.

In my professional development plan the first

thing I wanted to work on time management

for the classroom, so I had some things to

assess me with time management, I added a

timers to the lessons I would be teaching so

the students kn ow how muc time to take on

activities and I would know when to finish

a lesson.

and wrote the time I will be taking in each

section of the class on my lesson plans and

I followed it strictly without any fail.

And my students got used to the timer I

had for them, it was becoming a routine

for them and it made the lessons much

easier for me and them, they would sometimes ask me to put the timer on if I forgot, for

doing some activities, or when explaining a certain section or when they have a 5-minute

break.

The second goal I wanted to achieve during my teaching practice was to (manage students)

which is a big goal for me, it was a bit difficult to achieve since the teaching was online this

time and I couldn’t communicate with the students, I tried to communicate with the student's

parents and get their number in and have a WhatsApp group talking to them which made it

easier for the parents to communicate with me and tell me what would their student want to

make the lesson easier for them.

I put the students in groups according to their levels because I wanted to

give each student an appropriate activity for them to do to improve on, the

students would try to be better when they are working with students who

are a higher level and would help each other during it, even though the

classes were online I talked to some of the parents to work with each group

of students in the same group and their parents so it can be easier for them

to work in groups.

To manage the students I also had an evaluation for the students each week

according to the group theyre in, so each group would be evaluated, each

week and they would answer some questions that would determine if they

are good at that subject or medium or weak in it,

and I would write it so I can help them improve.
