What’s a “professional development plan” and how does it compare to the TSAP Action Plans?
Most school districts require all teachers to create and implement a professional development plan. This is particularly true for new teachers. Professional development plans are documented strategies for improving specific skills, staying current and/or expanding capabilities and influence. They may include generic district wide requirements, developmental areas identified through classroom problems or mentor feedback, and/or actions designed to support career advancement goals. You will receive specific direction on professional development plans once you start teaching.
