 Introduction:

• What is professional development plan?  sets

out the goals and the resources needed to
support a staff member's career development
and continuous improvement. The plan is
created by the manager in consultation with the
staff member. Professional development for all
staff members should begin when a new
member joins the team. Planning should not be
initiated only after a staff member is identified
as having potential improvement needs.

 • Strength- my next steps:
• In my previous teaching practice, I use positive re-enforcement for the students, here are many ways to
reinforce the behavior you want to encourage, and there are many free or low-cost reward options you can
use. Positive reinforcement doesn’t necessarily need to be a tangible item. Instead, you can positively
reinforce a child’s behavior by:

Clapping Use class

“Documentation of the growth of both children and
teachers is another important component of the

Reggio Emilia approach. Photos of children at work
and play, along with dictations of their experiences,
help teachers and parents learn more about what
does and does not work for a child. Teachers can
then adjust the dynamics of their classrooms
accordingly” (Emilia, 1993)

preservice teacher program: 
Goal 1 students will be able to follow the classroom rules and manage
their own time by implementing different strategies measured by
checklists and reflections. According to Reggio Emilia theory “Prepare and
Goal 1 organize children environment” (Emilia, 1993).

Goal 2 students will be able to develop their vocabulary through gamification measured by
pre-test and posttest and reflections using online games by themselves. According to Maria
Goal 2 Montessori “Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.” (Montessori,
1870) 

Goal 3 students will improve their creativity through art measured by student' work samples
and my reflections, according to Waldrof Steiner theory “The heart of the Waldorf method is
Goal 3 that education is an art-it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child,
his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind” (Steiner, 1919)

 Thematic analysis
1- Be more organized
2- Follow the classroom rules
3- They didn’t take too long from the class time

 
• Analysis: After collecting my data using the checklist, used timer for the students to help them finish their
cleaning up after actives on time. I found that the timer helped students to be more organized for example,
Zayed is always late in completing his activities; however, I noticed he took 5 minutes to clean up. Another
finding is following the classroom rules. For instance, Noura is not known for following class rules; however,
when the teacher's encouragement and personal support, she was able to take 5 minutes. Finally, use the class
time effectively. For example, we can see that Maktoum took 8 minutes because he never checked the timer,
but after practice with him the timer he checks the time and he finish cleaning up earlier, also for Sultan he
took 7 minutes because he always playing around timer, but after practice with him the timer, check list refers
to students manger their time by using timer, we can see on week 1 most of the students took too long to
finish cleaning up, and some of them they look to the timer and finish one the time, I decided to give the
students more practice to use the timer during the activity time and after the activity ( cleaning up time), and I
notice that most of the students improved and they finished on the time, but some of them need more practice
of using the timer such as Maktoum, Majeda and Laith.
 Reflection 
• In this action, the student will be able to follow class room rules, manage their time, and be more
organized they will not take too much time to do their activity in the centers because they will learn
and practice how they manage their own time, it's important because given the limited amount of
time you have in a day, you want to make the most of it. It’s easy to get caught up in a frenzy of
activities and achieve less. when I use a timer on the board first time the students don't know what
this is, then I explain it to them, I told them this is timer when the time be 00:00 you will stop doing
your activity, I notice some of the students follow the rule, but when I used it the second time the
students know they have to stop when the timer is stopped, this techniques helps me to know how
is follow the classroom rules and how is not follow it, and its helps my lesson to run smoothly and I
can manage my lesson, and also its It helps the students to achieve their goals faster
• ” Proper time management makes you more effective. Instead of getting caught up in
multitasking, you focus on one activity at a time for a specified duration. This way, you give it
your best, which results in you are achieving your goals faster. For instance, if you want to
improve your grades in a specific subject, at the Global Indian International School slotting in
some extra time to work on it will help you raise your grades faster.”

Reflection 2 

• While the students learn how to use technology to use or write letters their ability will improve to use
edmentum app technology, and we will build more advanced generation. Technology provides students with
easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn. It enables
students to explore new subjects and deepen their understanding of difficult concepts, particularly in STEM,
the importance of including activity in our classroom Helps connect students to the real world, prepares
students for the workforce, to thrive in the 21st-century workplace, students need to have more than a
working knowledge of certain technological tools (electronic calendars, web pages, teleconferencing,
electronic whiteboards, etc.). By integrating these technologies into the regular curriculum, institutions are
ensuring that their students are prepared for the modern office. 
• Students are enjoyed while they use iPad in the classroom because they learned into different and new way. 
• When we play together with the student the letter game, they are saying the sound of letter correctly because
the feel carious to see and know what the story is about. 
Reflection 2 

I used with the students an Edmentum

For the next day I read for the students a story about ; water princess’
app, each child have their own ipad
and heads phones, the student did this story is in Kenya I choose this story with my MST because the
reading and writing skills, while I theme for our class in Kenya, ‘ each class in our school have their own
observe the student they was enjoy county as a theme’, before I start to read the story for the students I
because its different teaching and played with them an online game, I show them a different letter with
learning style, some of the students upper/lower case, each student choose a letter and say the sound of
they need help ‘ low student’’ so I take the letter and behind the letters the cover page of the story, in this way
a group and sit with them to develop each child choose a letter and say the sound of it correct the letter in
their abilities I notice most of the
students they like this teaching style
disappear, when all the letters disappear they will able to see the story
because it’s fun for them and also they cover page, this activity let the students to remember the letters
have a chance to see some videos about upper/lower case and they will know each letter sound, students feel
the lesson, for example story about excited to know what is the story about and they felt curiously, then
letter.   when they see the title of the story I let them think what is the story
about. 
 Peer
observation 

• I had a peer observation the lesson integrated math and English, lesson
outcome is R4L: Seeing Skill - Odd one outD24: numbers E31 R4l: seeing
skills – odd one out , KDIs: phonological awareness math: greater than,
less than an equal, at the end of the lesson I gave the students a
formative assessment we play an online game about greater than, less
than an equal , there is a two group of  fruits and the students have to
count them and see which group have the greater number or less
number or equal, and they have to put the signs > , < ,= this online game
allowed me to see who is understanding the concepts and who is not,
students enjoy this game and they wont to play it again, they able to
understand the greater than, less than an equal signs, also they learn to
count faster, My MST she choose for me only the low level students
they are only 3 students , Zayed, Souad and Reyoof.

• We can see that Reyoof has some difficulty on counting object, and she cannot
count backward and forward 1 to 20, I gave her a lot of practice on edmentum app
and I help her to count and also to write the numbers for 2 weeks then I observe
her again in the edmentum app and set with her in each math lesson also I gave
her to see a lot of explanation on edmentum app and solve some question, she
improved but she need more time, then I observe her in again I and notice some
improvement with Reyoof she able to count object and count backward and
forward regarding my sticky notes observation,  then I notice that Saoud  and
Reyoof has the same difficulty they doesn’t know what is the meaning of rhyming
words, I work with both of them, on edmentum app we solved some Questions
about rhyming words, on the next week I notice some improvement with them
but they need more practice, so I deiced to let them listen to some poems of

How will you provide evidence of the success of creativity criteria:  Creativity is defined as a 4-criterion construct, which includes attributes of novelty, utility, aesthetics, and
the action  authenticity. Novelty attribute stipulates that a creative work brings something new into being, which presents a new conceptual
framework and/or modifies or violates an exist- ing one,  
Engaging in the creative process has immense benefits. *Creativity: 
• boosts mental health 
• increases the ability to problem solve 
• improves comfortability with change and failure 
• embraces our curiosity 
Link art with subjects: 
1. I linked literacy subject with Art (creative) I read for the students not a box story and I asked them we have all of these boxes what we
should make of it? The students plan their idea in the paper that draw it then they shared their ideas and next day they create what they
draw.  
2. For the second literacy, I read for the student’s water princes story and then they choose the character for the story and chance it to do
any other characters, most of them they choose giraffe.   
 Weekly reflection 

I want to give the students visual art t techniques because children

often enjoy making art, even if it’s only for a few minutes at a
time, and using inexpensive items, like recycled food containers
or homemade materials. By encouraging young children to
engage in artistic activities, parents and caregivers can help their
children’s brain development and provide a good source of stress 2 Creativity is the ability to see many things in new ways and its breaking tight
relief, too, art can also improve language development in young boundaries and going beyond information and material given, It is when one thinks
children. When parents talk with children about the art they are unconventionally, Creative thinking in classrooms alters the way students approach a
making, children learn how to describe visual elements like colors problem. It allows them to think outside the box, experiment and come up with innovative
and shapes, and build their vocabularies even as they fine-tune ways to find solutions for various problems. Improves communication skills: A classroom
their motor skills, for example, use new tools for the students to that fosters creativity improves students' communication skills. on one of my lesson I
be more creative make them draw and use some carryon of include art, the theme in about Kenia, I read for the students ‘water princes story’ and the 
different colors, or read for them a story and on the end of the main character of the story a girl ‘ gigi’ when we finish read the story I asked the students
story let each child choose a character from the story and give to choose an animal main character instated of ‘ gigi’ they Choose the Giraffe ,they start
them some staff and let them make a poppet that they chose in to color the graph by using oil colors and make a background for the paged by using also
this way they will practice imagination and experimentation as oil colors and markers,  and we start to make our story, each child choose a page to draw
they invent new ways to create art, in math lesson we can use it, they enjoy this activity because the make their own story, for the high level student I let
shaving cream and let the students make a number  them also to write a sentence.  
Weekly Reflection and evidence 
3.For the third week, I linked literacy
subject with Art (creative) I read for the
students not a box story and I asked
them we have all of these boxes what
we should make of it? They gave me
their answers and then, The students
plan their idea in the paper each child
draw what they want to do with the
boxes, it then they shared their ideas
and next day they create what they
draw. 
4.For the fourth week, the students study
about recycling and we gave the children
a led and ask them to think about the led
to make by it something useful.

after highlighting the main data thematic analysis, the theme is will improve their

the students have a lot of creativity criteria such as project tasks showed fluency,
• Thematic:   flexibility and novelty, each child use different colors they like they didn’t copy
• each child unique   from each other’s, I notice that they are unique they have their own ideas and they
plan before doing any work to organize their ideas, also in each task their creative
• use their critical improved because in each week we have 2 art class’s one of the best work I liked
thinking   when I have the them ‘recycling’ I showed the student a led and ask them think
• creative   about something useful we can do with this led? Students showed me that they have
a good critical thinking and they think out of the box. We can see that shamma plan
before she does her idea, she uses her critical thinking to do something unique by
using the box, also for laith he plan on the paper and draw the idea he want to do a
car by using the box.
