Comprehensive School-Level 3-Day Professional Development Plan

Directions: The final signature assessment in this course is to write a comprehensive, school-level instructional leadership professional development plan. This plan includes multiple elements in which you have been working on throughout the weeks. This week you will focus on building your final 3-Day Professional Development Plan including your fourth element called Teacher: Improving Teachers’ Instructional Practices.

Each week throughout the course you prepared and submitted a draft of three out of the four elements of the plan. Use your readings, lectures, and exemplar examples of key components to build a strong more comprehensive plan. Use the feedback you received throughout Weeks 1, 2 & 3 to guide you in making improvements to your 3-Day Professional Development Plan. We should see growth from your previous draft submissions. You will submit this plan as your Signature Assessment for this course.

Part 5: Reflection: Evidence on the Impact of K-12 Student Learning

Directions:

A. Reflections W4LO1:(CLO1 & 4), W4LO3: (CLO5): Complete the following reflection to articulate and provide evidence on the impact of effective professional development on K-12 student learning.
