Professional Growth Goal Statement:

I will implement a supervisory observation cycle aligned with the Teacher Growth and Evaluation
Model for Instructional Specialists with all coaches in order to provide continuous support for
instructional improvement. Coaches will be able to identify professional learning goals related to their
roles and responsibilities and utilize their participation in observation cycles to achieve those goals.

DIP Goals
Rationale:
Evaluation is a new responsibility for me this year. It is the first year I have experience with the
Teacher Growth and Evaluation Model. Therefore, I feel this is an appropriate area to focus my own
professional learning.
Consistent below grade level student performance in reading, writing and math indicates the need for
improved instructional practice. Coaching is a researched based best practice for job embedded
professional learning designed to improve instruction.
Alignment:
Improving instructional support is directly aligned with the District goals for focus on learning and
100% proficiency.
Targeted Population:
The target population is 16 District Coaches who provided services for all school buildings and at the
district level.

Growth Measures(s):
