A Look at
Renewal
Understanding the
Renewal Process
• Goals are to leave this
presentation understanding:
– the details of the Profile of Professional
Growth (PPG)
– the evaluation process
– possible avenues you can follow to
complete the PPG
We Are Dedicated to
Five Core Propositions
• Teachers are committed to students and
their learning.
• Teachers know the subjects they teach
and how to teach those subjects to
students.
• Teachers are responsible for managing
and monitoring student learning.
• Teachers think systematically about
their practice and learn from
experience.
• Teachers are members of learning
communities.

indirectly impacted student learning?
• Discuss changes, additions, next
steps that would enhance your
professional growth.

presented the greatest challenge, and
what have you done to address them?

A Look at
a Sample PPG:
Rea Zertification
PGE 1
Rea moved into a new school and was shocked
at the lack of parent involvement.
• Went to the principal to discuss ideas.
• Developed a newsletter to parents informing them
about classroom activities and asking for input.
• Established a monthly evening activity for parents
based on a current topic of study.
• Rea and principal and 2 other teachers
established a monthly day session for parents.
• Established after-school tutoring sessions at
parent request.
• Since the majority of students come from
Hispanic homes, Rea started taking Spanish
lessons.
Component 1
PGE 2
Rea’s district mandated computer training
because it felt that students in all classrooms
need teachers as Resources for computer
issues.
• Took required 2- day workshop.
• Took additional courses offered at a local
college.
• Organized her team of teachers to develop
lessons based on computer use. Students
interacted with their reading on the computer.
They read more and understood more.
• Used the lessons to do a presentation
Component 1
at a faculty meeting.
PGE 3
Rea learned that a well-known speaker on
cooperative learning was coming to the area,
and since she felt a bit uncomfortable with
small group work, she decided to attend.
• Attended the session and purchased the book.
• Read the book and met with colleagues who
were also interested. The group studied the
material and planned lessons.
• Lesson went well. Rea took other workshops on
various topics from her district.
• Became involved with district professional
development office.
Component 1
PGE 4
Rea teaches reading and wanted to enhance her
Knowledge.
• Went to IRA Conference. Returned with many
materials.
• Entered Masters Degree program in Literacy
and received her degree.
• Accepted position as curriculum director with
focus on updating district curriculum.
• Applied for and was accepted as a full-time
professor at a local college.
Component 1
Component 2
The ten-minute lesson could have been:
• A lesson that focuses on Rea
working with students working on
computers. Connected to PGE?
• A lesson that shows students
working in literature circles.
Connected to PGE?
• What might be another possibility?
And the PGE?
Component 2
Component 3
• What are some possibilities?
• And to which PGE is your
possibility connected?
Component 3
Reflection
Rea’s Reflection
• Impact on Student Learning?
• Next steps?
• Challenging Standards?
• Patterns?
Reflection
Finding Evidence
• What were the significant needs ?
• What content knowledge was acquired?
Deepened?
• What pedagogy was acquired? Deepened?
• What current technology was
acquired/applied?
• Who was involved? colleagues, parents,
community members?
• Was standards-based instruction applied?
• Did the candidate ensure equity of access
and promote diversity?
• Was there meaningful impact on student
learning?
Then this candidate was
renewed.
Evaluation
Evaluation
• All components and reflection are
evaluated as one entity.
• Evidence comes from all components and
is collected against the scoring criteria
which are directly from the rubric.
• Decision is either Renewed or Not
Renewed.
• Not Renewed eighth-year candidates
receive some feedback focused on the
scoring criteria.
• All PPGs are evaluated by two NBCTs in
the same content and developmental level.
A trainer reviews all Non
Renewed PPGs.
