Goal Setting and Professional Development Plan
GSPD is an ongoing, recursive process through which teachers authentically engage in reflection about current professional practices, identify individualized professional growth goals, establish and implement a professional development plan to attain those goals, and track progress toward the goals over the course of the year.
The teacher self assessment, goal setting and professional development processes are all interwoven and applied throughout the year to positively impact each teacher’s professional practices and ultimately increase student performance.
For a successful T-TESS, teachers need to
Practice self-reflection of strengths and professional learning needs,
Establish personal goals to strengthen their instructional effectiveness and better meet students’ needs, and
Engage in relevant, targeted professional learning opportunities aligned to their goals.

Domain Guiding Questions
Planning:
What do I want students to know and be able to do as a result of this lesson?
How will the students be engaged in the learning to address their individual needs and interests?
How will I assess that the students have demonstrated mastery of the identified knowledge, skills, and concepts in the lesson?
Instruction:
Focus on the "Learner Outcomes." I do , We do
1. What are the learner outcomes? What students will be able to do when they successfully complete a learning experience (whether it's a project, course or program). They are always written in a student-centered, measurable fashion that is concise, meaningful, and achievable.
2. How are they consistently communicated to students?
3. What evidence is there to support that students understood the learner outcomes?
How does the evidence reflect students’ understanding and movement towards mastery of the learner outcomes?
What is the teacher saying and doing that aligns with and supports the learning objectives? For example, how is the lesson structured and paced to facilitate student mastery towards the learner outcomes?
How do questions, technology, etc., align with the learner outcomes?
Learning Environment:
1.How is the learning environment structured? Is it conducive to teaching and learning?
2.How do the routines and procedures serve to promote quality teaching and learning?
3. How do you establish, communicate, and maintain clear expectations for student behavior during classroom instruction?
4. How do you establish a classroom culture that is mutually respectful, collaborative, and based on high expectations for all learners?
