Consider your self-assessment as you identify your strengths and the areas where you would like to work on developing or acquiring additional training/information. Keep in mind that it is a district expectation that you are working towards, or can now demonstrate, expertise in the four areas identified last year as a focus for our PD: PBL, Diversified Assessment, Technology Enhanced Learning and Inquiry. If you feel that you need to continue to investigate these areas, you should consider availing yourself of ETTC opportunities. All teachers are asked to design their PDP goals in relation to student needs. Please keep in mind our district vision and definition of student achievement. **// Performance Excellence for Everyone //** ** // To create teaching and learning environments that engage all students, foster achievement, and cultivate the skills needed to compete, connect and collaborate in a global society as ethical and moral participants. // ** ** // Student achievement at Hunterdon Central should produce responsible, caring, and ethical citizens who value self development, think critically about issues, communicate and collaborate effectively, apply academic knowledge to authentic situations, and display mastery of curriculum as defined by the State of New Jersey // **** //. // ** As a department, we will continue to focus our goals on curriculum and assessment design understanding that we need to develop assessments that will provide us with data we can examine in relation to SGOs (Student Growth Objectives). Please review the following goals and consider activities you might want to propose as evidence of working toward the goals as part of your professional development plan. Please complete the two forms which I use to gather information and recall activities to reflect the versatility you have shown this year in and out of the classroom. With this information, I can complete my part of the process. Please be sure to indicate areas outside of the classroom in which you work with students, clubs, sports, etc. and return the form electronically to me. ** Non-Tenured reflections are due no later than April 5, 2013. Tenured reflections are du no later than April 12, 2013 ** I will schedule times to meet with you as I receive the reports.
