•Be positive
•Be present
•Be patient
•Technology
Purpose for Today
Educators will begin the process of creating a
Professional Learning Plan (PLP). The plan will
consist of student performance and
professional practice goals, and professional
learning activities that will result in increased
learning for you, the educator, with regard to
student needs.

Out With the Old…In With the New
Sort of..
•IPDP is now PLP
•PLP will not be on ePDC
4
What is a PLP?
A plan of action to
improve the skills and
knowledge needed to
meet the educational
needs of the students
in an educator’s
classroom during a
school year.
5
The selection of
professional
learning activities
are data driven
and based on the
educator’s
professional
learning needs.
It is NOT a flip of
the coin!
6
Research supports
that as the quality
of instruction in
the classroom
increases, so does
student achievement.
7
“Teachers are more likely to change their
instructional practice, gain greater subject
knowledge and improved teaching skills
when their professional development is
linked directly to their daily experiences.”
Michael Garet, 2001

Activity to complete at this time:
• Reflect on the professional learning activities you anticipate being
an active part of during this school year.
• Check the Protocol Standards that correlate with your planned
professional learning
• Choose a partner at your table and explain how your planned
learning activities meet the standards you checked.

Sources of Student Performance Data
• Review the results from previous year’s school, grade
level, class, or individual student data (DEA/FCAT,
MTSS, student achievement, behavioral, attendance,
etc.).
And/Or
• Conduct a formative assessment to measure the
percent of student mastery on a specific skill or
behavior and administer a diagnostic instrument if
data indicates need.

Student Performance Data Examples
Statement includes % of mastery, the skill,
and the type of assessment instrument used
to capture the data on the skill or behavior.
Example: 20% of students in my English 1 class
scored 70% or higher identifying main idea on a
{educator constructed assessment}.
Non-Example: 20% of my students scored 70% or
higher on the test.
19
Student Performance Data Examples cont.
Non-Example: Some of my students passed the pretest.
Example: 40% of my students scored 70% or higher
on a “content specific” semester one pre-test.
Non-Example: Most of my students passed the
science portion of DEA.
Example: 50% of my students scored Level 3 or
higher on the Scientific Thinking DEA Subcategory.
20
Student Performance Data Examples cont.
Non-Example: Some of my reading students didn’t
pass the Vocabulary section of FCAT.
Example: 2 of my 5 ESOL students in my Intensive
Reading class earned a level 3 or higher on the
Vocabulary section of the 2012 FCAT Reading Test.
Non-Example: 50% of my students passed the pretest.
Example: 50% of my students scored above 70% on
the Expressions and Equations {formative assessment}.

Student Performance Goal Statement
The PLP Goal Statement must be…….
specific and indicate measurable improvements
(evidence) expected in student performance.
23
24
What does SMART mean?
Specific: The outcome or end result is very clear to me
and all audiences.
Measurable: You can tell if you have achieved your goal
because you can count it or see it. This is your
evidence.
Attainable: While achieving the outcome might be a
challenge, it is possible with my resources.
Results-oriented: This is the targeted area referenced in
my data summary.
Time-bound: A specific date has been set by which to
achieve the goal.
25
Writing SMART Student Performance Goals
Goals are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable,
results-oriented and time-bound).
Example: By spring 2013, 71% of my fifth grade students
will be at level 3 or above in scientific thinking as
evidenced by the DEA class summary report.
Example: The percentage of my tenth grade students
scoring level 3 or higher on FCAT reading using cause
and effect will increase from 64% in spring 2012 to 82% in
spring 2013.
Non-Example: My third graders will pass FCAT reading.
26
Writing SMART Student Performance Goals
cont.
Non-Example: Most of my 9th grade students will score at
least a 4 on a writing assessment.
Example: 95% of my 9th grade students will score a 4 or
higher on writing skills as measured on the school Mock
Writing Assessment in January 2013.
Non-Example: A majority of my class will increase their main
idea score.
Example: 50% of students in subgroup “A” will score 70% or
higher on main idea skills as measured on an educator
constructed rubric by March 2013.
27

Practice Data
Sample Data Statements:
• According to my 2011 – 2012 Performance Appraisal, I was rated as “Needs
Improvement/Developing” in the area of utilizing a variety of instructional strategies
appropriate for teaching students from diverse backgrounds with different learning
styles.
•I received an “Effective Rating” on my 2011 – 2012 Performance Appraisal in the
area of monitoring learning activities, providing feedback and reinforcement to
students.
31
Page 3 cont.: Instructional or Professional
Practice Goal
Goals are SMART (specific, measurable,
attainable, results-oriented and time-bound).
Sample Goal Statements:
By the end of the first semester, I will implement three strategies
learned as a result of my ELL course with 100% of my ESOL
students as evidenced by student artifacts.
As a result of my online classroom management course, I will
implement 2 new “procedures and routines” based on best
practices for monitoring learning activities with all of my classes
by November 2012 as evidenced by an administrator
observation.
32
Page 3 cont.: Instructional or Professional
Practice Data
Sample Data Statements:
• Technology
• I received an “Effective Rating” on my 2011 – 2012 Performance Appraisal in
the areas of 1) Facilitating student access to the use of electronic resources
and 2) exploring and evaluating new technologies and their educational impact.
•PBL
• According to my FEAPS Self Pre-Assessment completed August 30th, I was
rated as 1 “I consider myself a beginner in the area of deepening and enriching
students’ understanding through content area literacy strategies, verbalization of
thought, and application of the subject matter.
33
Page 3 cont.: Instructional or Professional
Practice Goal
Goals are SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented
and time-bound).
Sample Goal Statements:
I will choose 1 electronic resource (Virtual Thesaurus, wiki, EduBlog, podcast),
learn how to use it and apply it into a minimum of 3 lessons per week by
February 2013 as measured by analysis of my lesson plan book.
Using an electronic recording device (ipod, iPad, computer) to record a
reading selection once every 2 weeks, 75% of my level 2 readers will
demonstrate a 20% increase in their fluency rates by May 2013.
I will implement two Project-Based Learning units, with fidelity and
consistency, to create a learning environment for students to demonstrate
{specific standards} through creative thinking, construction of knowledge,
collaboration, and display innovation as students synthesize what they have
learned and apply it in a real‐world context by increasing from a level 2 to a
level 3 as measured on the PBL Rubric by May 15, 2013.

Improvement
•Student Goal connection:
My PLP addresses Reading Goal 1 of our School Improvement Plan: To meet
the needs of all students. Through implementing differentiated instruction, I
will provide my students options in content, product, and process to address
my students’ learning styles, interests, and abilities.
•Instructional or Professional Practices Goal connection:
By participating in the “Differentiated Instruction” training on October 17 – 18,
2012, I am addressing Goal 1 of our School Improvement Plan. I will
implement the newly learned strategies and ideas to meet the needs of my
students and their varying learning styles and abilities.
36
Page 3 cont.: Connection to School
Improvement
•Student Goal Connection:
 My PLP contributes to Math Goal 4 of our School Improvement Plan: Overall
school proficiency in mathematics will meet the requirements of the No Child
Left Behind Act. The percentage of students in the lowest 25% will make
learning gains in math as evidenced through the use of formative
assessments.
•Instructional or Professional Practices Goal Connection:
Through my participation in the “Mathematics Formative Assessment Study
with Linda Walker” and my school level “Guided Math PLC”, I am contributing
to Math Goal 4 of our School Improvement Plan. I will document student data
through the use of formative assessment ideas acquired during this training.
I will implement at least two new strategies as a result of my school level
PLC during the 2nd semester.
