Evidence 1: //PDP Evaluation (678) //

Rationale 1: //At the end of this Master's program, I evaluated the Professional Development Plan I created at the start of the program. I created goals and activities to participate in to achieve the desired outcomes for my goals. After working toward my goals over the past 22 months, I had the opportunity to reflect upon and evaluate my progress. My evaluation of my progress allowed me to determine what actions I can take in the future to keep working toward my goal, guiding my path of development as a teacher. Because I am purposefully further working toward my goals, my students will benefit from my drive and activities as I continue to work toward these goals, evaluate their progress, and in turn make new goals to support and foster my professional growth.//

KSD: 9.K.3 The teacher is aware of major areas of research on teaching and other resources for professional learning (e.g. professional literature, colleagues, professional associations, professional development activities). //Due in great part to the professional resources I interacted with throughout this program, I am aware of many areas of research on teaching and professional learning in the capacity of educational technology. I will continue to follow those resources and find new resources for my professional learning.//

9.S.3 The teacher seeks out professional literature, and other resources to support his/her own development as a learner and a teacher. //Many materials utilized to reach the goals of my PDP were sought out and discovered on my own. I will continue to use these resources and seek out professional literature and other resources when necessary to support my development as a learner and teacher.//

9.D.2 The teacher is committed to reflection, assessment, and learning as an ongoing process. //Although I have been working toward my goals for 22 months, I am not finished. My reflection, assessment, and learning will continue as I getting closer to reaching my goals. I also understand that as I grow and develop while working toward my current goals, I will create and assess new goals as well. I will continue to evaluate my work and its effects on my students, parents, and the community.//
