INDIVIDUAL PLAN FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (IPPD)

FORM A FOR TEACHERS

Meaning and Purpose of IPPD

What is Professional Development?

Professional development is the process of improving competencies and work performance through a wide variety of opportunities for growth in knowledge, attitudes, and skills. For Teachers, a personal and professional growth process necessarily integrates the goals of the teacher as a professional with the goals of the school, division and region for better student outcomes. The standards, processes and tools used in the accomplishment and use of output are based on the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS).

Professional Development activities range from independent study such as personal or structured professional reading; to supported learning such as mentoring and coaching; to collective action such as getting involved in a professional organization or conducting group research and to formal programs such as on site face-to-face training, distance or on-line course study, and continuing formal education.

Teacher Development in the education system is most successful in an environment, which promotes the goals of a school-based management with a strong leadership and support system. It is most likely to succeed when it is embedded in the vision, strategic plan and organizational structure of the school, division and region. Moreover, it must be guided by a purposeful and systematic planning through an INDIVIDUAL PLAN FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (IPPD).

What is an Individual Plan for Professional Development (IPPD)?

A IPPD is a tool that ser es as a guide for the tea her’s purposi e lear i g a d de elop e t as a

professional. The IPPD is structured such that every teacher regularly and individually prepares, implements,

o itors a d updates the pla . It is ased o the i di idual tea her’s ide tified professio al de elop e t

needs as revealed by the NCBTS-TSNA and is consistent with the priority development goals of the school, division and region.

What is the purpose of accomplishing an IPPD?

The IPPD is accomplished by the teachers to enable them chart their goals and plan learning activities to enhance their professional competencies in order for them to work better for the improvement of their

Guiding Principles

In the process of developing an IPPD, certain considerations may serve as guiding principles:

1. The IPPD must be based on:

∙the mandated functions and competency standards for the profession

∙results of training needs assessment

∙priority development goals of the school, division and region

2.The IPPD goal focuses on improvement of school effectiveness and learning outcomes.

3.The IPPD must adhere to the following SMART standards:

∙Specific and focused on learners and school priorities

∙Measurable progress and accomplishments through a monitoring and evaluation scheme

∙Attainable and results-oriented

∙Relevant strategies appropriately connected to goals and objectives

∙Time-bound within targets but flexible to afford revisions and updates

4.Development strategies adhere to the andragogical approach and methodology identified to be effective in the attainment of the IPPD goal and objectives

5.The IPPD process is job-embedded, i.e. inherent to the practice of the profession, and a continuing course of action.

Directions for Accomplishing the IPPD Template

Preliminary Meeting

Prior to the actual completion of the IPPD, it is advisable to conduct a preliminary meeting where your group is given the opportunity to study and discuss information from the documents and reports pertinent to your school and professional needs. The following documents will be needed for your study: (1) Individual NCBTS- TSNA result accompanied by a copy of the NCBTS-TSNA Tool or any document that contains the list of

domains, strands, performance indicators and KSAs, (2) Any official records available that give information a out our lear ers’ perfor a e a d lear i g eeds e.g. a hie e e t test results, lass re ords, EMI“,

Form 1)

Setting the Goal

Read the instructions below carefully and provide the information needed in accomplishing the IPPD. Guided by the steps below and based on the information you have studied during the preliminary meeting, write the information needed in the charts below. These will help you formulate your GOAL for professional development. You will need to complete the IPPD Template where you will write the goal you have formulated. You will also fill up the appropriate columns: (I) Learning objectives, (II) Strategies,(III) Resources, (IV) Timeframe, and (V) Success indicators.

Formulating the Goal

To formulate your goal, focus on enhancing your teaching and learning to improve student outcomes by reviewing the following:

Individual NCBTS – TSNA result

1.Consider the scores in each of the seven domains and strands

2. I spe t the graph’s ars i di ati g our highest a d lo est results

3.Based on the review of your NCBTS-TSNA results write the information needed on the chart below. (Write the strands in full text.)

		Strengths (At least 3	∙
		strands that you think
		you are most competent)	∙
		Professional	∙
		Development Needs (At
		least 3 strands that you	∙

You may refer to the Sample of accomplished IPPD distributed to you. It is advised however, that you will use this Sample only as a guide in your reflection of your own personal needs.

Now, write your Professional Development GOAL in the appropriate box on the IPPD Template.

Deriving Objectives from the Goal

In formulating objectives, it is foremost to consider the competencies you should develop to help achieve your goal as revealed by your NCBTS-TSNA result. Referring to the same example above regarding the Science teacher, the objectives that may be derived from the goal set are as follows:

Objectives:

A.To improve my competencies in using varied strategies in teaching diverse learners

B.To gain more content knowledge and skills in Science teaching

C.To acquire knowledge and skills in providing learning activities that respond to demands of the community

Deciding on the Professional Development Methods/Strategies

To help you achieve your objectives, there is a need to choose carefully appropriate methods/strategies. You may take note of the following considerations. It may be helpful also if you know the types of development strategies such as the ones below.

It is important, however to write more specific professional activities you intend to engage in to achieve your

Tapping Possible Resources

There are possible resources that you may tap to support your professional development as listed below:

A.Human Resource

You may have potential mentors right beside you just waiting to share their talent and time. These are your co-teachers who have STRENGTHS in certain domains or strands who can assist you in areas you need to enhance. You may also be a Peer Adviser on competencies you identified earlier as your strengths. Your School Head, Department Head, or colleague may have the capacity to help you learn the needed knowledge or skill. Human Resource may also be available in other schools, at the division offices, or from the community who can share their expertise to assist you in attaining your

lear i g o je ti es. It is ad isa le to spe if the Perso s ’ a es he ou rite them in the appropriate IPPD column.

B.Material Resource

Material resource may include Professional Development Modules that can be availed at the Division or District Office, Teachers Sourcebooks available from Foreign-Funded Projects in your school or nearby school, Training packages containing lesson guides may also help you learn and enhance your KSAs.

Teaching Materials that may be downloaded from the Internet can help you enhance your teaching competencies. You may have to learn to use technology in the classroom especially if this is available in your school or district.

C.Logistics

Funding for training and development is not always easy to find. However, if you know the sources to tap in your community, you may try doing so in collaboration with your tea hers’ group a d School Head.

Setting the Time-Frame

The IPPD time frame is for a period of one calendar year. This may coincide with the development of the s hool’s AIP. The ti e fra e ou ill set for ourself a tuall depe ds o our deter i ation, and

commitment to do something about your goal based on the urgent and prioritized development needs. What is important in setting the time frame is that it is realistic and doable. The dates you will write in your IPPD should be like a clock with an alarm to remind you of your responsibility for yourself and your learners.

Identifying Success Indicators

There are two columns for success indicators: (1) Success indicators for enhanced teaching competence, and

2I di ators for i pro ed lear ers’ performance. For the first, you may think of the NCBTS competencies

that you would have enhanced as a result of the professional development activities you will engage in. For the se o d, thi k of the lear ers’ perfor a e that ill e i pro ed as a result of your enhanced

competencies.

Self-Monitoring of the IPPD

This IPPD is a self-monitoring tool. It allows you to be responsible in keeping track of your own progress and accomplishments at any point within the period you have set for each objective. The general rule is that you are responsible for tracking your growth. You have to monitor your progress regularly. Keep in mind the professional competencies you have targeted to enhance. You may refer to the list of competencies listed in the NCBTS-TSNA Tool. Determine whether the activities you have done so far have contributed to the enhancement of your competencies.

Monitoring has to be done regularly. The Self-Monitoring Check may be useful in monitoring your IPPD progress. This tool is to be accomplished every quarter and at the end of the calendar year.

Self-Monitoring Check

(To be completed every quarter and end of calendar year)

1.Am I constantly aware of my professional development goal and objectives? (Write your objectives in the first row.)

2.What have I accomplished so far?

(Write activities you have done and the specific NCBTS competencies that have been enhanced in the appropriate columns.)
