What is the role of my Professional Growth Plan (PGP) in earning my professional certificate?
The PESB determined the PGP is crucial to a teacher’s demonstration of the professional certificate 3 standards and 12 criteria. As a result, WAC 181-79A-030 was revised to define the PGP as the document that identifies the specific competencies, knowledge, skills and experiences needed to meet the standards set forth in WAC 181-79A-207. Further, the PESB determined that a PGP is prepared by the candidate for the professional certificate, in collaboration with members of the professional growth team.
