**2010-2011**
 * PD Calendar and Rubric**
 * Guidelines for Completing the Professional Development Planner (PDP)**


 * 1) Teachers are asked to submit short term and long term goals to PD coordinator.
 * 2) Teachers will meet with PD coordinator, in person or electronically, by Friday, September 10th. Topics discussed at these meetings will be the written goals, support the PD coordinator can provide to help the teacher meet his or her goals, and any other questions.
 * 3) Teachers are asked to stay current in listing, describing, and assessing the various activities in which they participate during the school year. Please use the tracking sheet as a guideline as for what information to note.
 * 4) The PD coordinator will meet with each teacher in January to assess the progress being made, and to clarify any questions as to how to take the notes and from there compose the written portion of the PDP.
 * 5) The deadline for the completed PDP is the last Friday in May.
 * 6) During our end of year meetings, each faculty member will be expected to present his or her PDP to the faculty. Though this presentation is largely informal in nature, teachers should consider ways in which presenting the information to colleagues might be useful for them, including offering handouts or things they can use in their own classrooms.
 * 7) Your PDP will be placed in your formal file.


 * Evaluation of PDP**


 * Your PDP will be evaluated by the PD coordinator based on the description below.**

Because the PDP is a written record of your professional growth, teachers are encouraged to put time and effort into completing the PDP in the same professional manner in which they approach teaching, learning, and our students. Thus, the PDP should be well written and comprehensive, and each section of the PDP should contain a thorough response to all of the prompts on the tracking sheet. It might also be helpful to get into the specific impact your growth has had on the work you do with your students each day, and your specific location at Siloah. In other words, how did this growth help you help your student in new, different and/or better ways?

Teachers that have questions or concerns with the PDP process, the timeline, or its evaluation are encouraged to contact the PD coordinator at any time.
