=F500: Teaching with Technology= =Professional Growth and Development Plans= = =

Overview
This document is a collection of several forms, designed as a way to help W200 AIs plan for their continuing growth and development as an instructor, and beyond. Much like how we expect our W200 students to plan for their professional development, we will be doing the same thing ourselves. These forms assume that you have first completed the ProfilerPro survey on professional strengths and preferences and have looked at your results. Additionally, please keep in mind the elements of the Teaching Competency Dossier in the F500 syllabus.

Procedures
First, you should look through the results of your ProfilerPro survey (minus the “Experiences” section at the beginning). Each question uses a scale from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). For each section, add up the numbers that you picked on each scale.

On the first form (“Fall 2009 Professional Goals) you will be asked to answer questions about your greatest strength (the category with the highest score) and areas which areas possibly requiring growth. Here you will make suggestions and plans for how you will utilize your strengths and develop in your areas needing growth over the course of the next semester

On the second form (“Doctoral Program Professional Goals, you will be asked to do the same things, but over the remainder of your doctoral program (and possibly beyond).

On the third form you will create a group development plan with the others in your mentoring group (this will be your copy). You and your group peers will plan out three discrete ways in which you and your group will help each other improve as teachers and professionals

Name: Date: Group Members: = Fall 2009 Semester Professional Growth Goals = Using your ProfilerPro results, the F500 syllabus, and any peer feedback, do the following. Under the “Greatest Strength” section below, list the category which had the highest combined score. Then, using the list items from under that category, create a goal for how you can best use this strength to help the instructional team or another person in your group (or F500) using that strength this semester). Under the “Professional Goals” section below, please write three items from the ProfilerPro survey with the lowest scores. Then, you will create a short term goal (a goal that can be achieved in a concrete form this semester) for each of these items, why you chose that item, and what you will do to meet that goal this semester

= Doctoral Program Professional Growth Goals = Using your ProfilerPro results, the F500 syllabus, and any peer feedback, you will do the same thing as in the last section, but with the next “X” years of your program in mind. These are longer term goals, meaning that they may be over a longer period of time, and may be of a more substantial nature. Do not just repeat your short term goals, but build upon and beyond them to look to how you can improve upon lower scoring areas (on your ProfilerPro survey) and improve your Teaching Competency Dossier with time. Under the “Professional Goals” section below, please write three items from the ProfilerPro survey with the lowest scores. Then, you will create a long term goal (a goal that is larger in scope than your short-term goals, but still discrete in nature) for each of these items, why you chose that item, and what you will do to meet that goal.

= Group Professional Growth Goals = For this goal sheet, each group member will share their ProfilerPro results and create three means by which the group will meet three mutual goals based on both the needs and strengths of the group members for professional growth and development this semester. The activities could range from peer observations of teaching to meetings to blogs to… just about anything of substance.
