Three+Year+Professional+Development+Plan

 **Three Year Professional Development Plan**

Originally my plan was to obtain my masters and apply for our campus Curriculum Instructional Technologist position. Due to budget cuts these positions are no longer available. Therefore until the economy shifts, I will be working on completing our districts Professional Educator Program. I have completed Level 1 of the Technology Proficiency Program and to achieve mastery level I have three additional levels. Thus the first year of my professional development plan will be in completing Level 2 mastery. This consists of identifying instructional tools that support the delivery of instruction to students. I will be developing an e-portfolio show casing tools such as Digital Stories, Videos, Podcasts, Interactive PowerPoint presentations and other resources to meet instructional needs. In the second year, I hope to achieve Level 3 mastery. At this level, I will still be utilizing Level 2 tools, but extending the activities and the resources for student use in the classroom. This level I will empower students to use technology. Finally the third year will be the completion of Level 4 mastery. In Level 4, it is a continuous maintenance level rather than a completion level. Other professional development programs that I would like to pursue are: RTI (Response to Intervention), Love and Logic seminars, and Kagan Management and Discipline seminars, all in pursuit of supporting students, teachers, parents, and coworkers.
