As I developed my Professional Development Plan I started with my focus on building strong relationships and laying the foundation of expectations. As I moved through the plan I worked to influencing on a larger level.
In my first year I decided to focus on working to develop a strong communication with all stakeholders. I felt it was important to share the district’s vision and to solicit as much support and input as possible. I also want to work on ensuring staff is aware of the accountability guidelines; especially because they are so new and changing. By focusing on the new assessment expectations I will create a strong foundation for improving rigor and decreasing the learning gap.
For the second year of my plan I narrowed the scope just a bit and chose to focus on a more detailed plan to address the rigor of classroom instruction. I will provide needed support to teachers to promote the use of high-yield instructional strategies. The second goal I established addresses the need for technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the area of operations.
For year three I focused on my relationship with the Board of Trustees and influencing education on a larger level. This does not insinuate that I would not work on developing a relationship with the board in year one and two, but after two years I would then make this more of a focus. I feel I would have a better understanding for areas that need to be addressed. I would also work to join forces with other districts and superintendents to make a difference on the state level. I truly believe real change is needed in the funding and the accountability areas of public education.
There are so many areas that would need to be addressed, but after careful review I feel I have selected key goals to direct my attention over the next three years.

You are headed in the right direction by ensuring staff is informed of the accountability guidelines as they vastly change with the focus of the new assessment.
