Individual Professional Development Plan

1. Individual Professional Development Plan Growing as Educators to Increase Student Achievement

2. What is your IPDP? • An Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) is your plan for how you will grow as a professional during the school year. • The IPDP should reflect your professional learning needs related to improving student achievement and enhancing your craft as an educator.

3. DCPS IPDPs • FLDOE guidelines require that instructional • personnel use the district-approved IPDP • template. • MINT Participants and school counselors have specific IPDP templates. • The IPDP template may not be altered with the • exception of inserting rows for additional • professional learning objectives as needed.

4. Getting Started • Before writing your IPDP consider the following: • current classroom-level disaggregated student • achievement data • your IPDP from last year • your evaluation from last year • the School Improvement Plan (SIP) • school initiatives such as professional learning • community (PLC) work

5. Completing the IPDP

6. Student Achievement Data

7. Student Achievement Data • Identified Student Group: • Based on performance data which indicate improvement is needed, identify a group of students currently assigned to you that will be your focus. • Consider groups identified by classroom data, the School Improvement Plan, school initiatives, team goals, and behavioral data related to content area skills. • Select one group of students to identify for your IPDP identified student group.

8. Student Achievement Data Examples of Identified Student Groups:

9. Student Achievement Data • Assessment Type: • Formative assessments, such as progress monitoring instruments, FAIR, unit tests, writing prompts, student portfolios or journals, exit slips, quizzes/tests using NGSS and CCSS question stems, or other teacher/district assessments are a few examples. • You may also include summative data such as FCAT and EOC exams or behavioral data related to content area skills.

10. Student Achievement Data • Include numerical assessment data for the students in your identified group. • What is your identified group’s current score average? • Where do you anticipate your group will score by the end of the year? This becomes your data goal. • During the year, you may want to update the mid-year scores for your identified group so you can revise your IPDP Professional Learning Objectives to meet your learning needs.

11. Student Achievement Data Only one identified student group is required Identify a challenging but attainable goal Your IPDP may include formative and summative data Calculate the final score average for the students in your identified group Calculate the current score average for the students in your identified group

12. Student Achievement SMART Goal

13. Student Achievement SMART Goal A SMART Goal is… Strategic & Specific: The outcome or end result is clear. Measurable: Numerical evidence that will indicate if the goal has been achieved. Attainable: The goal may be a challenge, but it is possible with available resources. Results-oriented: An identified area. Time-bound: A date by which the goal will be achieved.

14. Student Achievement SMART Goal Examples: At least 75% of my students in the “Lowest 25%” in 5th grade math will score at or above 60% on progress monitoring assessments by March. 80% of my 2nd grade ELL students will demonstrate a probability of reading success (PRS) score of 54% or above on AP3 of FAIR in the spring. Non-examples: A majority of my class will increase their FCAT score. Most of my 9th grade algebra students will pass their EOC exam.

15. Student Achievement SMART Goal Name of identified student group and grade level Name of the assessment This is the same percentage goal from the section above Date or month How many of the students in your group can reach the established goal?

16. Educator Professional Learning Goals

17. Educator Professional Learning Goals • Each educator’s goals will vary based on the students assigned to them, their grade level, content area, certification, etc. • Your professional learning goals should reflect the professional development you need to be an effective educator. • The IPDP focus is on professional learning goals for the current school year.

18. Educator Professional Learning Goals • Your professional learning goals should include consideration of the following: • learning opportunities needed to help you meet your • SMART Goal • professional practice needs (ex: OOF, additional certifications) • School Improvement Plan (SIP) • results of your previous year’s IPDP • your evaluation from last year • school initiatives • administrator recommendations
