1.Before we start, please write any questions you have about the PDP Process on large Post-it notes and put the notes on the question board. If the question is unique to your situation please include your name.
2. Review the Marzano Teacher Factor article and your response sheet-and write your three words about teacher impact on the poster.
What makes a difference?13 % of a student’s improvement due to teacher
7 % due to school
Factors controlled by schools account for 20% of the variance in student achievement.
8
Student beginning at 50%
Most Effective Teacher Least Effective
53% one year boost83rd percentile in year 3
14% one year improvement29th percentile in year 3

Best Case ScenarioA student who starts at the 50% but has the
most effective teacher in a most effective school will be at the 96% percentile after three years!
Do we have a reason to be optimistic?

Give One-Get One
After reviewing the Marzano article on Teacher Factors, what three words you think describe the impact of teachers on student learning?
Directions: Write those words on column one of the table on the page 10 of your packet.
Find three partners for tonight.Exchange one of your words and write your partner’s word in the middle column and his or her name in the third column as he or she records your word and name.
PI-34 FAQ QUIZFind your word partner I and work together to answer the question on
the quiz on pages 1-3 in your packet.

WRITING YOUR GOAL
A goal is created 3 times.
First, as a mental picture.
Second, when written down to add clarity and dimension.
And third, when you take action towards its achievement.
--Gary Ryan Blair

STEP 2 B:WRITING A PDP GOAL The goal must be informed by:
1. Self reflection
2. Connected to the Wisconsin Teacher Standards
The goal must describe how:
1. It will impact professional growth
2. It will impact student learning
14
How is a PDP Goal different from SLO
PDP Goals can be academic, behavioral, social/emotional while a SLO is always academic
PDP Goal must be implemented for the length of the plan while a SLO is often for one year
PDP Goals are still linked to the Wisconsin Educator Standards
An EEP has two goals—a PPG and SLO which are somewhat similar to the two objectives generated from a PDP goal.
15
Can my PDP Goal be the same as my Educator Effectiveness goal?
DPI Response: Since both PDP Plan goals (Step II-B) and the Educator Effectiveness Plan’s professional practice goals must be standards-based (and DPI is assisting educators to see parallels between the 1995 Wisconsin Teacher Standards and the 2011 InTASC Standards, it makes sense to align them. Moreover, Student/School Learning Objectives (SLOs) can be aligned with PDP and Educator Effectiveness Plan professional practice goals, providing outcome measures for goals. When that happens, the evidence and lessons learned on SLOs and professional practice in Educator Effectiveness End-of-Year Goal Reviews can be used in the Professional Development Plan both in Annual Reviews for years 2-4 (Step III) and as Evidence of the Impact of Professional Growth on Student Learning (Step IV-A). That said, PDP goals need to be broad enough to cover a 3-5 year plan and possible changes in assignment during that time, while SLOs and annual Professional Practice Goals are for a single school year in the educator’s current assignment. In the course of one PDP, an educator may write 10 or more SLOs with only one PDP goal.

Writing Goals(II-A) and Objectives(II-E)
Listen to an eight minute video of an interview to help an Initial Educator formulate her goals and objectives.
How to Move from Goal to Objectives-be more specific (P. 2)MUSIC GOAL: I will research and
incorporate music and movement strategies into my classroom so that active engagement of my students will improve.Objective 1: I will increase my
understanding of brain development linked to music and movement.
Objective 2: I will implement culturally diverse activities/child-prompted, diverse thematic units.
18
Let’s Try this togetherAs you listen to me interview a teacher try to
formulate a goal that fits what you hear.
19
Find Word II Partner & Conduct Interview (Take turns taking notes in Partner’s Packet on page 1)
What do you do?
What do you enjoy?
What are you most proud of?
Any area that has been a challenge?
What do (did you identify in the homework as the topic for your goal) you want to learn more about?
What would you need to learn?
How would this impact student learning
STOP—Help your partner write and revise his or her goal statement and write corresponding objectives for professional growth and student learning. (P. 6). SWITCH ROLES and repeat.

Partner Time
I’m here as a resource to help you work on goals and objectives.
21
II-E. ACTIVITIES What activities help you learn as a
professional?
On Page 4 in your workbook, write all the activities you can think of that provide opportunities for you to learn about research, strategies and best practices in your role as an educator. How have you learned in the past? What learning opportunities exist in your school and district?
22
Three CornersChoose one of the Corners
(Elementary, Secondary, Special Education).
Find a group member willing to be the recorder.
Create a master list of opportunities for Professional Learning.
23
II-E. Add Activities, Timeline, and Collaboration
Look at Ben’s PDP, “Writing Activities for Each Objective” (pages 24 and 25 in the IE Toolkit)
Activities for Professional growth have typical content-as you identified in your groups.
Activities usually imply: Where the activity fits on the timeline If collaboration is likely If the activity produces an a piece of evidence to
verify the plan If the activity contribute to assessment of learning
24
Student Learning Activities Also Fall into Typical Categories
Design new materials-units, assessments, activities
Implement new strategies-academic, behavioral, organizational, communication
Implement new technology
You are anticipating likely activities as you write your plan, but actual activities are subject to change based upon what you learn and are easily revisable in annual reviews.
25
Like Goldilocks in “The Three Bears” activities have to be
just right
Not too vague, not too specific….just right! Don’t stress too much over getting them right in your crystal ball--They are alterable, changeable, revisable in you annual reviews.
I will take workshops in technology I will take a Google docs workshop I will take tech workshops that focus on
collaborative learning26
Work with a Partner or Work on Your Own and Draft Activities for Professional
Growth and Student Growth
Use the template in your workbook (p. 5) to draft professional learning activities with collaboration and a timeline.. http://ideas.gstboces.org/programs/timer/
Use the template in your workbook (p. 6) to draft student learning activities with collaboration and a timeline.
Connect the dots among your reflection, situation, goal, and the standards.
Listen as the example in the PowerPoint is read and underline key words (p. 10) that describes teaching situation and circle at least two standards.
28
Sample Rationale for the goal:
BEN’S GOAL I will learn the content of the "Literature in a Diverse America" course and plan a variety of lessons so that students will engage with literature that provides diverse perspectives and experience academic success by successfully taking and passing formal assessments based on the literature read.
As I reflect on my first year and think ahead to the next, the advanced literature class is my greatest challenge. I have begun preparing by reading material and taking notes, and enrolling in a Univ. Course for implementing a multi-cultural curriculum. My teaching of this class relates to a school goal of increasing student knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge. My goal meets WI Ed. Standards including: 1. Teachers know their subjects and 8. Teachers know how to test for student progress. (shortened from orig.) 29
Part C: Write the RationaleTake a few moments to look at additional
examples on pages 10 to 12 in the workbook before drafting your rationale on paper or online.
Notice that standards can be referred to in the body of the text or listed at the end. The entire standard statement does not need to be included. (However the online versions may direct how they want standards included)
