Goal Setting Reflection on Standards Wishes, Dreams, Goals What inspires you?

Individual Reflection on Standards • Review the administrator and teacher standards (INTASC and WI) along with the Danielson Framework handout. • Do a personal reflection on EITHER the administrator standards or teacher standards – What are your strengths and opportunities for growth?

Wishes, Dreams and Goals • We subject ourselves to three fundamental principles: • Wishes. "I wish I could win the lottery." • Dreams. "I want to retire at the coast." • Goals. "I will retire at the coast by building my personal wealth, through strategic financial planning." • In groups of 2-4, make some wishes, dreams and goals for our/your education system • Post on large paper. Let’s do a gallery walk of wishes, dreams, and goals

What inspires you? • Looking at those dreams, wishes and goals, what inspires you? • Consider your reflection on the teacher/administrator standards, how might some of these ideas fit into these standards?

Quotation • “A goal is created 3 times. First, as a mental picture. Second, when written down to add clarity and dimension. And third, when you take action toward its achievement.” Gary Ryan Blair • The PDP process is designed to help educators achieve these three steps.

SMART Goals • Specific • Measurable • Attainable • Results Based • Time Bound • SOME NOTES: • SMART, not required • Goal can be academic, behavioral, socio-emotional

Comparing the PDP to SLOs and PPGs • THE PDP REQUIRES NEW PROFESSIONAL LEARNING. SO DOES THE PPG. • THE PDP REQUIRES VERIFICATION OF STUDENT LEARNING. SO DOES THE SLO. • THE PURPOSE OF THE PDP IS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL. THE PURPOSE OF THE SLO AND PPG IS EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS. • THE PDP IS FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. SLOsAND PPGsARE LIKELY ANNUAL. • THE PDP IS APPROVED BY DPI TRAINED, PDP REVIEWERS. SLOs AND PPGsARE REVIEWED BY DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS.

Writing your PDP Goal • Remember Step I – Reflection • Step II -- Writing the Goal • The goal must be informed by: 1. Self reflection 2. Connected to the Wisconsin Teacher/Administrator Standards or InTASCStandards • The goal must describe how: 1. It will impact professional growth 2. It will impact student learning
