LINCOLN SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN

Elementary School
2015-2016
NAME: Patty Cordero
Instructions:

Teaching Assignment: Prep 1

Please review last years goals as well as our LS Professional Standards to set four
Professional goals for yourself for this year. Three of your goals must link directly to a LS
strategic initiative (IE: Inquiry based teaching/project based learning and the IB learner
profile/Balanced Literacy) and the fourth is a personal goal linked to a component of one
of the LS Professional Standards.
All three goals should be SMART (specific,
measurable, attainable, results oriented and time-bound). In the spirit of backward
design, please reflect on and answer the questions below for each goal. At the end of
this document are some examples. Submit an electronic copy to your Principal
/Assistant Principal by Tuesday, September 29 through Google Drive (instructions to
follow). You will be prompted to reflect on your progress both mid and end of year. We
look forward to supporting your professional growth and reflective practice.
i) Goal(s):
State your goal(s) (specific outcome/objective):
1) Goal 1: I will develop my understanding, best practices, and assessment of the
teaching and learning of literacy with a focus on reading through the Daily Five,
Making Meaning Program, and DRA/Running Records resources.
2) Goal 2: Inquiry Based Learning / PBL - I will dedicate Fridays to Inquiry based learning
and PBL.
3) Goal 3: IB Learner Profile Each month I will do a variety of developmentally
appropriate activities to help the students better understand the traits.
4) Goal 4: Personal Goal related to Professional Standards I will design student
assessments to address specific learning goals and objectives.
ii) Evaluation Criteria:
How will you assess your growth/achievement/success on your goals? What are your
criteria?
1) Goal 1: The Daily Five and the Making Meaning Programs will be implemented no
less than four days per week. Student success will be documented via running
record data (DRA) and anecdotal notes from teacher observation.
2) Goal 2: Assessment will be based on the development and implementation of PBL
activities. This will be both anecdotal with evidence (plans, student work, etc.) as
well as records of student performance.
3) Goal 3: Each month students will be knowledgeable enough about the identified trait
that they will be able to both model the behavior and nominate a classmate who
has modeled the behavior as well.

4) Goal 4: Assessments will reflect student needs based on individualized goals crafted
from teacher observations and student data.
iii) Plan:
What specific steps/activities will you undertake to work systematically on your goal?
Please identify the timelines as well as people who may be able to be of support to you
in reaching your goals.
1) Goal 1: 1. I will use a variety of instructional strategies and resources that are
appropriate for prep students.
2. I will differentiate so I am reaching all of the students learning styles and
needs.
3. I will monitor individual student progress and complete a running record at
least once per trimester (more if needed).
2) Goal 2: 1. I will coordinate with the Prep team in planning an aligned PBL
unit/activities.
2. I will implement the activities.
3. I will record student performance.
4. I will adapt future activities/plans based on student needs.
3) Goal 3: 1. Meet with reading buddies to collaborate using writing activities and team
building focus on the designated IB trait for that month.
2. Bring in guest speakers and community support to read the IB text and
discuss the trait with students.
3. Implement various projects based on each specific trait.
4) Goal 4: 1. I will write assessments with student goals in mind.
2. I will evaluate assessments based on each goal.
3. I will design future assessments based on student results.
MID-YEAR

REFLECTION

JANUARY

Instructions:
Please take a look at your three professional goals -- what you set out to work on
diligently this school year --and reflect carefully on your action steps and successes to
date, and what you still need to do to reach your goals by June.
i) Goal(s):
Do either of your goals need to be changed or modified? If so, please restate your goal(s)
(specific outcomes/objectives):

ii) Evaluation Criteria:


How have you assessed your growth/achievement/success on your goal? What criteria
have you used? What progress have you made relative to your criteria?

Goal 1: I have implemented Daily 5 on a daily basis, Making Meaning program on a


weekly basis and did DRAs at the end of first Semester (we used end of Kinder DRAs for
the beginning of the school year).
Goal 2: We have been using PBL along with our Science program (Plants, animals, etc.)
Goal 3: I have introduced the IB traits every month, planned related activities, used IB
traits to nominate students for the Wall of Character and brought guest speakers (Mr.
Rinaldo).
Goal 4: We did CPAAs and used this data in our assessments (Report Cards, DRAs, Words
their Way Spelling Inventories, etc.).
iii) Plan:
What specific steps/activities have you undertaken to work systematically on your goal?
Hows it going? What do you still need to do?
Goal 1: I need to introduce Word Work and Read to Someone on the second semester, so
students can do Daily 5 more independently.
Goal 2: Running Records need to be implemented to assess students individual reading.
Goal 3: I will continue introducing a new IB trait per month and using the Wall of
Character so every student of my class can be nominated.
Goal 4: We will continue applying the next CPAA to our students to keep track of their
performance.
END OF YEAR REFLECTION MAY
For the end of the year, teachers are asked to reflect on PGP accomplishments, learning,
and next steps. It is important for the principal/evaluator to have a clear understanding
of what you were unable to complete and why as well as whether you should continue
with one or more goals for the coming year. You may write your paragraph here.
PGP Accomplishments, Learning, and Next Steps

PGP sample goals


1.Effectively incorporate PBL components into the curriculum.
This year in Prep we encourage students to observe and come
with solutions on different situations (experiments, garden,
wall of character, circle time) and used guide lines of PBL.
2.Effectively incorporate the attributes of the IB Learner Profile
in teaching and learning. Each IB Trait was introduced
monthly. Guest readers came and read books. Mr Holman, Mr

Rinaldo and Ms. Woodbridge. We also reflected on each trait


on our booklet with our learning buddies.
3.Establish a culture for learning that develops the attributes of
the IB learner profile. We nominated class friends using each
of the traits.
4. Develop the use of instructional technology to transform
student learning. During the year we had internet problems.
However we continue using the math envision programs as
well as think central for math. Our favorite brain pop jr, which
links with almost every subject. We used Raz kids throughout
the year. Student enjoyed and learned about programming in
such early ages using Kodable and Light Bot. Students learned
to use I movies on their own and this gave them pride on their
tech work.
