Professional Growth Target

School/Group/Teacher Problem of Practice: *As a result of my self-assessment and TESS evaluations completed by administrators, I have identified
Description: A Problem of Practice includes an area of
three areas of growth to target for this year: 1A, 1F and 3D.
concern involving student performance supported by
multiple data sources and a review of current practices that
may contribute to the area of concern.

Goal of this Plan:
element(s) to be addressed:
1A: Demonstrating Knowledge of Content and Pedagogy
1F: Designing Student Assessments By the end of the 2017-18 school year, I will successfully integrate two
project-based assessments with rubrics to align the NGSS and FACS
3D: Using assessment in Instruction
standards for my classes. I will use the results of this project to plan for
future instruction.

Theory of Action

Implementation Strategies Results Indicators Sources of Data to Monitor

If I take the following actions: What change(s) will be seen in my practices: Evidence/Artifact of this change:

*Research Next Generation Science
Standards (NGSS) for Arkansas
*Research Family and Consumer Science
(FACS) standards for courses
*Align NGSS standards and FACS
standards
*Develop a project-based assessment and
rubric
*Share rubric with students and encourage
student adaptation and revisions
*Implement project-based assessment
*Analyze data resulting from project
*Use data to reflect on student gains and to
plan for future instruction
*Display extensive knowledge of the important concepts
of FACS and how they related to other disciplines (1A)
*Assessment criteria and standards will be clear, with
student contribution in their development (1F)
*Approach to using formative assessment will be well
designed and include student and teacher use of
assessment information (1F)
*I will plan to use assessment results for groups of
students and individuals in my class (1F)
*I will clearly communicate standards and criteria to my
students and students will use rubrics to assess and monitor
the quality of their work (3D
*NGSS standards for Arkansas
*FACS standards for courses I teach

standards
*Self-reflection results
*Create and extend connections between FACS content
and Science standards
