ACTION PLAN

To contribute to the goal of preparing reflective practitioners, student teachers will write an Action Plan at the end of first, second, and third field
experience with input from their cooperating teacher and/or the University supervisor. The Action Plan synthesizes each field experience’s
evaluation, links each field experience to the next, establishes goals for improvement, and forms an agenda for discussion between the student
teacher, the cooperating teacher and University supervisor at the beginning of the subsequent field experience. For First Field Experience only
(excluding Physical Education students), the Action Plan will be completed during the co-requisite Professional Seminar course.

the resource teacher to become familiar with students' individualized education plans to assure that I am
meeting their academic, social and emotional needs. I also want to expand my library of resources by attending
varied workshops where I can learn about different strategies to help meet the individual needs of my students.
In regards to improving my professional development, I will continue to attend workshops and lectures to seek
new information and strategies that I can use to improve my teaching in the classroom. I will also continue to
seek support and guidance from my cooperating teacher and take time to reflect on my practices. Lastly, I will
continue to reflect on my values as a professional in the education field to feel confident in the choices that
I make during my teaching practice.
