Three-Year Professional Development Plans Sample Clauses

Three-Year Professional Development Plans. Each professional, working with his/her administrator, will be responsible for writing a three-year Professional Development Plan. This plan should identify the goals to be addressed, the professional activities to be undertaken, and a brief review of the methods to be used to evaluate the progress of the plan. This plan includes the professional’s staff development plan. The guidelines for Teacher responsibilities will be used as a framework to develop each Professional’s Three-Year Plan, in collaboration with administrators. The professional review process begins each year prior to October 1, for professionals not on continuing contract status and October 15, for those on continuing contract status with a meeting to review the professional‘s Professional Development Plan. Each professional, together with an administrator, will identify needs for growth. Revisions of the Professional Development Plan may be made as needed. A follow-up conference may be scheduled whenever the professional feels the plan is achieved or needs revision. However, the annual review meeting must be scheduled on or before March 15 if a Performance Improvement Plan is to be initiated for the following school year, or when a professional is not on continuing contract. Even if the Professional Development Plan has not been completed, the professional and his/her administrator will review the progress made prior to the completion of the Annual Performance Review. No pay or termination decisions are to be associated with the Professional Development Plan. It is entirely for the purpose of professional growth and instructional enhancement.
