Leader’s Proposal for Staff Development Professional development should be built in to the master schedule to ensure the most up-to-date information is obtained by educators, in respects to new curriculum, state standards, or implementation of school level engagement.
Charlotte Danielson has created a professional practice model that entails the areas on improvement and effectiveness of teachers. Breaking down the framework into domains: 1. Planning and Preparation, 2. The Classroom Environment, 3. Instruction, 4. Professional Responsibilities. This framework allows for self assessment in addition to a rubric for administration and district level feedback. Creating opportunities for teacher to understand the Danielson model should enhance their understanding of what is expected and evaluated. Creating professional learning communities in conjunction with respect will allow teachers to flourish within their career. Allowing teachers to work together as department and grade levels will intensify their collaboration. Affording the opportunities for their own leadership will allow teachers to grow. Expressing concern and working together for a
solution.
