Professional Goals 08-09

_ Tenured Teacher X Non-tenured Teacher

Teacher: Michelle Reagan Position: 8th Grade Mathematics Teacher

Evaluator: Mr. Walker Position: Principal

A. Specify your goals/objectives: Reflect upon your job description, knowledge of student performance, and the goals for school improvement established by your district and/or school to determine at least three (3) Performance Goals you hope to achieve this year. You may develop more than three goals if you wish. The first two goals must be in the areas of technology and utilization of data. The last goal will be dictated by your personal choices for professional growth. Your progress in achieving these goals will be reflected in your evaluations and "Section D: Assessment of Results" will be completed as part of your Summative Evaluation Conference. At that time you and your administrator will each sign this form indicating the level of progress made on each goal you articulated.

• Goal #1: [For Technology Implementation] I will improve Algebra students’ geometry skills for those areas missed by taking Algebra this year. These areas include bisecting chords, fractals, quadrilaterals, Pythagorean Theorem, complementary and supplementary angles, tangent ratio, and similar figures.
• Goal #2: [For using data, including assessment data from NECAP'S and NWEA'S, to guide instruction] I will use the NWEA test data to implement a differentiated lesson plan for geometry. Test Goals Verification
• Goal # 3: I will start a MathCounts club.

B. Action Plan: (Explain how you will you achieve your goals?)

• Goal #1: [For Technology Implementation] Use Geometry Sketchpad’s tools and lesson plans to instruct students in the different areas.
• Goal #2: [For using data, including assessment data from NECAP'S and NWEA'S, to guide instruction]
• Enter onto the ladders the names of the students performing at each level of the ladders.
• Create a differentiated lesson plan instructing students on quadrilateral identification. Goal # 3:
• Obtain information from MathCounts regarding registration and competitions.
• Invite students from grades six through eight to the MathCounts club.
• Devise weekly activities centered on strengthen students’ math skills and preparing them for the competition.
• Create a school competition to select the four students to compete at the state level.

C. Evaluation Criteria: (How will you know that your goals are achieved?)

• Goal #1: [For Technology Implementation]
• Students will pass assessments on the different topics.
• I will have on file the different Geometry Sketchpad activities, sample student work, and the students’ assessments.
• Goal #2: [For using data, including assessment data from NECAP'S and NWEA'S, to guide instruction]
• I will have on file the differentiated instruction lesson plan and students’ assessments and sample work based on the lesson plan.
• I will have on file the curriculum ladders for geometry.
• Goal # 3: I will have on file the different activities from the MathCounts’ club, participation at each meeting, and results from the school competition.

D. Assessment of Results: To be completed by the teacher
