What is a professional growth plan?
Professional growth plans (PGPs) are job-embedded, self-directed professional development. With a PGP, teachers, administrators, paraeducators, and ESAs set their own goals, align them to certification standards, design an action plan, and collect evidence documenting growth towards achieving their goals. Educators then reflect on the process. There is no cost to an educator for a PGP.
Only one PGP may be completed to help meet the requirements of the General Certificate.
A PGP cannot be completed to attain a Subject Matter Certificate.
