Professional Goal
I will implement literacy
strategies into lesson plans
and will create an online
portfolio of curriculum
resources, lesson plans, and
assessment tools that can be
used to help build a course
curriculum for 7th grade ELA.
IAAL Goal: Part 1
Why the goal is important to
me
My current role as a seventh
grade English teacher
includes creating a
curriculum based on NVACS
standards that is also
engaging for students.
Creating an online portfolio
of lesson plans and literacy
resources will help to develop
a comprehensive curriculum
that allows students to attain
personal educational goals.
How will I document/provide
evidence that I am working
on this goal
I will create lesson plans that
include literacy strategies that
will increase reading fluency
and help students to achieve
mastery of ELA NVACS
standards. These lessons will
focus on using vocabulary,
close reading strategies, citing
evidence, and other strategies
that will help students to
comprehend a text. I will
research topics that are
relevant to my students and
will incorporate associated
texts in order to pique student
interest in the lessons. I will
also research literacy
resources that can be utilized
in the classroom to achieve
student success.
