Strength:

Area for
Improvement:

Domain 1:
Planning &
Preparation

I make it a habit to
plan at least 1 week
in advance, but I
leave room for
change. I have good
content knowledge
and detailed lesson
plans.

I could incorporate
more questions for
myself to ask during
class so I come up
with less on the spot.
I could be more
creative/daring with
my lessons.

Domain 2:
The Classroom
Environment

The students respect

me and are engaged
majority of the time.
They seem to be
comfortable in the
classroom. I always
try to make it a point
of asking how the
students are doing at
the start of the
lesson.

I need some work

establishing a solid
routine of quieting
some of the more
chatty classes.
Transitions are also
something I could
defnitely improve.

Domain 3:
Instruction

I try to keep students I fnd that students

engaged by varying sometimes dont
the activities in the understand exactly
lessons. The students what I am asking or
work in groups, draw, what my expectation
listen, read, write,
is. I need to fnd more
and discuss. I think I ways to be clear
have responded well when asking
to needing to be
questions. I also need
flexible when lessons to work on my
dont go as planned questioning
because of time,
techniques,
technology, or
specifcally asking
student
critical questions
misunderstanding.
more often.

Domain 4:
Professional
Responsibilities

Rating:

Areas of
Strength:

Area for
Improvement:

I reflect on my
lessons. I keep track
of all student grades
and try to remain
very up to date. I
always ask questions
about lessons and
what to do in certain
student situations
when I am unsure. I
have been in contact
with parents many
times over email.

I think what I can

work on the most is
being more confdent
about making
decisions. I could also
do a better job about
formally reflecting on
my lessons more
consistently and
sooner after they are
taught.

Areas within the Four Domains where I have demonstrated

improvement:
I have improved in Domain 1 by writing lessons farther in advance so I then only
have to go back to make minor changes when the time comes. I have improved
my classroom environment by trying not to talk over students and getting their
attention first. I have improved my instruction by finding more variety in the
lessons I teach, although I still need to work on this. I think I have also improved
my instruction in relation to the specific students I teach by figuring out what
works best for them. Keeping up with grades and parents was overwhelming at
first for Domain 4, but definitely have gotten a better handle on this.

Areas within the Four Domains where I hope to demonstrate

improvement:
I want to improve my planning and preparation by planning more
specific questions to ask during lessons. I also hope to improve my
planning of formative assessment, which also falls under Domain 1.
For Domain 2, I hope to become better at getting more talkative
classes to quiet down faster and to establish clearer procedures and
transitions. For Domain 3, I would like to improve the quality of the
questions I ask, my discussion techniques, and student participation.
I hope to make it a habit to reflect on lessons immediately after, or as
soon after I teach it as possible, which is a part of my professional
responsibilities.

MIDTERM: (please complete at mid-term only)

Two short-term professional goals I have set for myself include (goals
you hope to accomplish in the next six weeks):
I hope to add a spark or more creativity to my lessons in the next few
weeks. I have established a good environment with the students, but I need
to be more engaging and creative in my lessons. For example, I want to try
to have my students actually act out the reading of The Crucible. I also want
to explore more project based learning activities.
Another goal I have is to stop asking questions that lead to yes or no
answers. I have made a conscious effort to ask higher thinking questions,
but I still need to work on this. Q&A on the spot can be difficult, so I want to
have lists of questions I can refer to during lessons.

FINAL: (please complete at final only)

One or two long-term professional goals I have set for myself include
(something you want to improve within your frst year of teaching):
