Professional Growth Plan (PGP)
Purpose:
- The intention of a Professional Growth Plan (PGP) is to ensure that the informal plans which teachers formulate for themselves will become explicit, effective, and realistic.
- Professional Growth Planning is a process of self-directed inquiry focused on what teachers need to learn and do to improve their practice, resulting in improved student learning.
- The PGP should be directly connected to student learning.
