    Megan's professional growth plan outlines three goals: to positively contribute to her team teaching setting, increase her use of technology for communication and student learning, and confidently incorporate math exchanges into her math lessons.

    Megan's three goals are: 1) to positively contribute within a team teaching setting, 2) to increase her use of computer technology for communication and student learning, and 3) to confidently incorporate elements of Math Exchanges/Guided Math into math units and lessons to enhance student understanding.

    To achieve her second goal of increasing technology use, Megan plans to use strategies like email, Google Documents, Schoolzone, and Google Classroom to communicate with staff, students, and parents and enhance student learning.

    Teacher Professional Growth Plan

    September December 2015


    Megan Rainford
    Professional Semester III
    Florence Hallock School

    GOAL 1: Positively contribute within a team teaching setting.


    This goal is important to be because I am unfamiliar with team teaching, and I have been
    provided with the incredible opportunity to learn from this experience. I believe that team
    teaching offers support for all individuals involved and can challenge teachers to think in
    new ways, share their strengths, and develop in areas of weakness. In order for students
    to benefit from team teaching, I think that communication and cooperation within the
    teaching team is vital. As well as learn from this experience, I aim to contribute to the
    Grade 5 teaching team in positive ways.
    Strategy 1.1

    Build positive relationships with colleagues by getting to know them,


    carrying out conversations, greeting them in the hallways, and offering to
    help.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: N/A

    Strategy 1.2

    Attend and actively participate in all grade level, division, and school
    wide meetings.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: N/A

    Strategy 1.3

    Maintain open and clear lines of communication with the other Grade 5
    teachers, asking questions, creating plans, and sharing ideas.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Email, Google Documents

    Strategy 1.4

    Provide support and consistency in all Grade 5 classrooms in terms of


    classroom expectations.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Co-created Grade 5 Classroom Criteria, other Grade 5
    teachers

    Measures: This goal will be measured by the feedback that I receive from my colleagues.
    I will also assess my goal progress by reflecting professionally on my efforts and my
    perceptions of the impact that my involvement is having.

    GOAL 2: Increase my use of computer technology for communication


    and student learning.
    This goal is a priority to me because I believe that communication is important for all
    aspects of teaching. As 21st Century learners, students benefit from appropriate use of
    technology for learning material and life-long skills. I aim to improve my knowledge of
    technology in the classroom and broaden my teaching resources.
    Sub-goal 1: Use computer technology to maintain effective communication with
    staff, students, and parents.
    Strategy 1.1

    Use email and Google Documents to communicate with staff, as well as


    share lessons and other ideas.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Email, Google Documents

    Strategy 1.2

    Learn how to post on Schoolzone.


    Timeline: September
    Resources: Ms. Haig, Schoolzone

    Strategy 1.3

    Post homework and other information regarding my classes for parents


    and students on Schoolzone.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Ms. Haig, Schoolzone

    Sub-goal 2: Use computer technology to enhance student learning.


    Strategy 2.1

    Learn how to use Google Classroom.


    Timeline: September
    Resources: Tutorial videos, Ms. Haig, Google Classroom

    Strategy 2.2

    Post and assess assignments on Google Classroom.


    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Google Classroom

    Strategy 2.3

    Enhance lessons by using the document camera, and incorporating


    presentations, videos, and online activities when appropriate.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Internet, document camera, SMART board, chromebooks

    Measures: I will know that I have achieved my technology goal upon the completion of
    my teaching internship if I have used each strategy increasingly throughout the semester.
    Technology use will be documented in my lesson plans and reflections. My lesson
    reflections will also provide me with documentation of the effectiveness of each
    technology tool or activity for increasing student engagement and understanding.

    GOAL 3: Confidently incorporate elements of Math Exchanges/Guided


    Math into math units and lessons to enhance student understanding.
    I am eager to pursue this goal because I value the opportunities for differentiation, hands
    on learning, small group instruction, and ongoing assessment that this Math program
    offers. I aim to improve my professional understanding as I learn a new teaching strategy
    and become confident in delivering and facilitating it.
    Strategy 1.1

    Become familiar with Math Exchanges instruction and procedures.


    Timeline: September
    Resources: Ms. Rastas, Math Exchanges Presentation, Math Exchanges:
    Guiding Young Mathematicians in Small-Group Meetings by Kassia
    Omohundro Wedekind

    Strategy 1.2

    Use pre-assessments based on the Grade 5 Math Program of Studies to


    create math groups.
    Timeline: Ongoing
    Resources: Grade 5 Math Program of Studies, Ms. Rastas, Ms. Haig

    Strategy 1.3

    Begin incorporating elements of Math Exchanges into Place Value and


    Decimal Unit lessons.
    Timeline: September
    Resources: Ms. Rastas, Math Exchanges Presentation, Math
    Exchanges: Guiding Young Mathematicians in Small-Group Meetings
    by Kassia Omohundro Wedekind, Ms. Haig

    Strategy 1.4

    Use Math Exchanges as a guide for creating and implementing the


    second Grade 5 Math Unit.
    Timeline: October/November
    Resources: Ms. Rastas, Math Exchanges Presentation, Math
    Exchanges: Guiding Young Mathematicians in Small-Group Meetings
    by Kassia Omohundro Wedekind, Ms. Haig

    Measures: Evidence within my lesson and unit plans will measure the progress of the
    implementation of my goal within the classroom. My professional learning and growth
    will be recorded within my lesson reflections. I will also be able to evaluate the success
    and impact of my goal based on student learning. This will be reflected in student math
    assessment; including observations, conversations, and products.
