PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN

NAME:

Kelsey Graham
PSI 2014

SCHOOL YEAR:

ACTION PLAN
I will thouroughly write my lesson plans, ensuring to try to
have every portion of the template filled in and accounted
for.
I will ask my TA if I can teach lessons in different subjects
so that I can get a feel for how to plan a lesson in different
areas.
I will use references from my C&I instructor for how to
correctly make a lesson plan.
I will ask for feedback from my TA and UC on how to
improve my lesson plans.
I will reflect on lessons I teach, noting what worked and
what didnt for future reference.

TIMELINE
Throughout PSI and essentially ongoing into PSII
and PSIII

GOALS/OBJECTIVES

To better understand how to lesson plan and

what all needs to be included in a lesson plan.
I would like to feel more confident in my
lesson plans. I would like to be able to create
lessons that are connected to one another

COLLEAGUES/MENTORS

Lit Instructor Leah Fowler
Online resources
My Techer Associate

INDICATORS & MEASURES OF

ACHIEVEMENT
My measures of achievement will be having
multiple lesson plans completed by the end of
PSI in a variety of subjects that show progress
throughout my practicum. Practice makes perfect

ACTION PLAN
I intend to exercise at least once a week, doing
something fun such as rock climbing, walking with
friends, or running.
I will ask a friend to do this with me, a friend from
our DEF group who has similar goals to me.
I will make sure to take breaks on the weekend to
visit with friends, see a movie or get outside and
have fun!

TIMELINE
Duration of PSI
Once a week for sure but more if I have time

GOALS/OBJECTIVES
To relieve stress by taking time for myself in the form of
exercise and/or outings with my friends.

COLLEAGUES/MENTORS
Friends and Family

INDICATORS & MEASURES OF

ACHIEVEMENT
I will have done some sort of physical activity
once a week for the duration of my practicum
and marked it on my dayplanner. At the end of
practicum I can look back and ensure I did this.
Another indicator is my stress levels, if I find I
am far too stressed out then clearly I havent
been working towards this goal. I should have
one day a week where I feel relaxed and stress
free!

ACTION PLAN
Knowing that I have to create lesson plans for my
practicum, I will incorporate at least one form of
assessment into each plan, trying to include a new one
each time.
I will observe and ask my TA about his/her assessment
strategies
I will ask for tools and resources from my TA and also
ask for feedback on my choices
I will reflect on my choices of assessment after the
lesson in a journal.

TIMELINE
PSI practicum and ongoing

GOALS/OBJECTIVES
I would like to have at least 5 different specific assessment
tools and use 2 or more of them for the lessons I teach in
practicum. I would like to gain a better understanding of how
to assess students both formative and summative

COLLEAGUES/MENTORS
Evaluation Instructor-Jen Legrandeur
-for resources on assessment and advice
C&I Instructor- Paul Bonhert
-help with incorporating assessment into lesson
plan
TA
-observe him/her, ask for templates/strategies, ask

INDICATORS & MEASURES OF

ACHIEVEMENT
I will have used 2 or more types of assessment in
my lessons that I teach in practicum.
I will have a list of at least 5 different types of
assessment that I have seen used in my
classroom or that I have learned about.
I will feel more comfortable with assessing.
