    Practicum I
    Pre-service Teacher Professional Development Plan
    for:

    Wallace Neskes

    Date: 12/4/13

    Directions: Your Professional Development Plan (PDP) serves as a guide toward continuous improvement during your
    teacher preparation program. List specific competencies, skills and dispositions you would like to improve on this
    form, using input from FEAP evaluation reviewed with your mentor teacher, feedback from your faculty steward, and
    other sources you deem reliable.

    What do I want to improve?


    (list specific improvement goals)

    Improve my control of the students


    behavior in the classroom.

    How will I achieve this?


    (list specific steps you will take)

    Use proximity control


    Enforce mentor teachers
    disciplinary course of action
    (i.e.: color change)
    Use attention grabbers for
    students who are off task

    When will I
    achieve this?

    Status/Comments
    (why you have chosen
    this goal and if it has
    been accomplished or if
    it is still in progress)

    I chose this goal because I


    tend to be slightly passive in
    the field while teaching my
    lessons. I know how
    important it is to have
    control of the classroom in
    terms of student behavior
    and know that
    implementing these
    strategies will make that
    happen.
    Reflection: Although there
    is definitely still room for
    improvement, I believe I

    What do I want to improve?


    (list specific improvement goals)

    Increase organization of past and future


    lesson plans, worksheets and activities.

    How will I achieve this?


    (list specific steps you will take)

    Use folders for different


    areas of teaching
    Use an accordion folder/or
    filer to file past lessons and
    future lessons.
    Use labels to clearly label
    where everything is kept.
    Have a backup on a flash
    drive of all documents.

    When will I
    achieve this?

    August 2014

    Status/Comments
    (why you have chosen
    this goal and if it has
    been accomplished or if
    it is still in progress)

    made great progress in


    achieving this goal. I
    became much more
    assertive and commanded
    attention of the students
    during my second
    practicum.
    I chose this goal because I
    have had some
    organizational issues when
    it comes to filing away
    worksheets, and lesson
    plans, resulting in them
    becoming damaged or lost. I
    know that by implementing
    these strategies this goal can
    be met.
    Reflection: I became
    MUCH more organized
    this semester, using tools
    such as filing folders, and
    plastic bins to store all of
    my work and lesson plans.
    I found that I was able to
    find things much more
    easily, and that really
    helped my overall success.

    What do I want to improve?


    (list specific improvement goals)

    Increase teaching strategies with


    incorporating multiple intelligences.

    How will I achieve this?


    (list specific steps you will take)

    Write a list of the


    intelligences down during
    lesson planning, check off
    those that have been hit.
    Research different ways to
    incorporate multiple
    intelligences into lesson
    plans.
    Use at least 4 multiple
    during lesson plan.
    Observe students to know
    their needs.

    When will I
    achieve this?

    Status/Comments
    (why you have chosen
    this goal and if it has
    been accomplished or if
    it is still in progress)

    I chose this goal because I


    sometimes do not use
    enough multiple
    intelligences in my lesson
    plans. I know how crucial it
    is that every student has
    their needs met and know
    that by implementing these
    strategies I will meet this
    goal.
    Reflection: I think that I
    could still improve in this
    area, but I did make some
    significant gains toward
    this goal this semester. I
    made it a point to make
    universally designed
    lesson plans, to help
    ensure the success of all
    type of learners. I think
    that showed in my five
    lesson plans during
    practicum this semester;
    my mentor was very
    helpful in making sure
    that I was able to meet this
    goal.
