Professional Development Plans (PDP). Each faculty member required to submit a professional development plan (PDP) shall, after consultation with the faculty member’s immediate supervisor, prepare and submit a PDP for the period to be covered by the evaluation.
Professional Development Plans (PDP). 1. Individual professional development plans must be developed cooperatively by the supervisor and the teaching staff member and should be limited in scope. They should focus on the most important areas of professional growth.
2. When no significant areas of weakness are identified, the professional development plan should be used to provide general guidance for voluntary professional development.
3. Whenever possible, these professional development plans should focus on in-service programs which use local resources in order to assure easy access to the required assistance and enhance its relevance to the needs of the staff.
4. The professional development plans should provide a basis for focusing the evaluation and assistance efforts of the supervisor in the subsequent year. There should be a clear and logical link between the identified weakness and the remedy recommended.
