Introduce my Professional development plan (PDP)

Nathan Rawlins (2020, June 25.), talk about how the PDP could help to identify the area of
improvement and helps also to set goals and have a clear vision of what you want to reach
also how could you organize your thoughts and actions. While I am reading his article I like
the quote he said about the PDP “A clear roadmap for reaching goals” which match my own
definition of PDP.

Another quote that I like about the importance of PDP is “The process of writing a PDP force
you to define what you really want from your career and how you’re going to get it in real
terms.” Chrissy Scivicque (2021, June 21). I totally agree with this quote because as much as
I focus on my goals and put my effort to reach these are specific goals this will absolutely
help me to be successful in my career and prove myself and my abilities and my skills.

After reading these two articles that lead me to ask myself what I want is my professional
development plan will be, how can I improve myself by using PDP, and how is this going to
improve myself and my skills.

Justify your professional development goals for this semester.

I have write this professional development plan to helps me to develop my skills as a teacher. I write five
goals, first, motivate student for learning, by using different strategies could help to achieve this goal.
Secondly, time management, finish my lesson requirements on time. use formative assessment. Thirdly,
apply different management strategies to improve student behaviors. Lastly, improve my communication
skills, by knowing the school staff, attending meeting or school events. Moreover, I explain in each skill
what the actions that I will follow to achieve my goals, support that I need and data that could help me.

To justify my PDP goals for this semester I want to reach five goals.

1- First goal is to be more social and collaborative not only with my MST but also with the
other teachers in the school. I sit this goal because I need to have a good relationship with
all the teachers, and I need to consider their thoughts and their ideas of teaching so I can
learn from them, and I can benefit and gain more experience.

2- My second goal is to improve my integration lessons. Integration is a very creative ways

to teach and it’s going to benefit the teacher and the student. According to Bredekamp, S.
& Rosegrant, T. (Eds). (1992) he said “An integrated curriculum allows children to pursue
 learning in a holistic way, without the restrictions often imposed by subject boundaries.”
To reach the school I’m going to discuss and share my lesson plans with my MST and
ask her feedback and after each lesson I gave and discuss with her how can I integrate to
subject and one lesson.

3- My third goal is use different strategies to motivate the students in the class and create
fun strategies to teach. This goal I personally see it as one of my strengths because I like
to create fun activities for the students and at the beginning of the class, I always look for
an interesting and fun hook to start my lesson with. U.S. Department of State.Gov
website that created by some teachers from the U.S said in their website that “Having fun
while learning also helps students retain information better because the process is
enjoyable and memorable.” U.S. Department of State. (October 13, 2021)

4- My fourth goal is time management, I want to start my lesson at the right time and
divided my time between the opening, centers, and closing very well so the student can
benefit from the beginning till the end of the class. To reach this goal I have to practice
multiple times also I have an Apple Watch which can help me to set a timer at the
beginning of each part of the lesson.

5- My last goal and the most important goal for me at the moment is classroom management
and by I mean managing the whole class started from the students behavior which is the
main point to me for classroom management because if I can manage the student
behavior very well I can have a small lesson where everyone in the class can learn and
benefit and to reach this goal I should have mixture of strict and teacher and also friendly
teacher with the students so I had to build a good relationship with them but also I need to
make sure that the students behave well when it’s learning time.
