This is a professional development plan created to evaluate student engagement using Kahoot!

as an additional learning tool in the classroom. This professional development will align with the
school’s current improvement plan (SIP) to increase the usage of digital learning tools by
implementing and monitoring technology programs to improve academic content areas.
Professional development will be given during pre-planning, so teachers can implement the new
technology at the beginning of the school year. Teachers are asked to implement the new
technology during the current school year. Data will be collected throughout the school year and
evaluated at the end of the school year. This information will be shared with the school
improvement committee to help implement future professional development and activities.

● Professional Learning Standard 1: Aligns professional learning with needs identified

through analysis of a variety of data.
● Professional Learning Standard 2: Establish a culture of collaboration among

● Professional Learning Standard 6: Monitors and evaluates the impact of professional
learning on staff practices and student learning.

Level 1: Participants’ Reaction

We want to increase student engagement in the classroom through the use of technology by
using Kahoot!. Teachers will participate in professional development to learn how to navigate

teachers access to multiple tools such as word cloud, open-ended questions, formative
assessment, analytics, attendance, and much more. A teacher questionnaire will be given prior

Teachers will be asked to submit a video of their lesson using Kahoot! in the classroom. The
teacher’s direct administrator will only observe the videos unless permission has been granted
by the teacher to share her video with others. Administrators will also conduct direct
observations of lessons using Kahoot!. The videos and observations will be used to document
and improve the implementation of program content. This information will help implement future
professional development and activities.
