Who approves Individual Professional Development Plans?
The educator’s direct supervisor or designee approves the Individual Professional Development Plan. In most instances this will mean that the principal will approve the plans of teachers and other educators who report to the principal. In some cases a principal may delegate this role to a department head. The superintendent will approve a principal’s plan, and the chairperson of the school committee will approve a superintendent’s plan. Educators may seek peer review prior to supervisor approval.
