PSI Professional Growth Plan

Elizabeth Appleton created a professional growth plan with the goals of developing effective classroom management strategies for her music classroom and improving her lesson planning efficiency. Her action plan was to observe other teachers, research strategies online, and compile resources in a binder. She would assess her progress by collecting strategies from multiple sources and implementing techniques in her own teaching. The timeline was to complete the resource binder by the end of the semester through ongoing observation, research, and reflection.
