The majority of your PDP team approves of your plan, and, 3-5 years later, they agree that you met your goals. Now what? You are issued a 5-year RENEWABLE Professional Educator License.
To get the professional educator license renewed, you are required to draft ANOTHER PDP, but this time. . . • 3 “like-licensed” peers (teachers, pupil services, admin) who have completed DPI PDP Reviewer Training • Majority reviews and verifies completion of the PDP in year 5 of the cycle • PDP goal does not need to be approved
The PDP Goal • Self-directed • Allows for flexibility • Goal relates to professional development and student achievement I will . . . . What you want to learn & why? So that . . . Data driven (provides evidence of use in the classroom)
Process of Writing a PDP • The goal addresses 2 or more of the Wisconsin Educator Standards • Once a goal has been established, the plan is developed (objective, activities, and collaboration ideas) • Throughout the process, the plan is carried out through activities, collaboration, collection of evidence, and reflection
