Professional Learning Plan

The following outline is a Professional Learning Plan developed to set, track, and complete goals that enhance my own learning as well as develop opportunities to apply new knowledge to support student learning.

This assignment is prompted by objectives outlined in the EDTE 650 course syllabus and with the intention of aligning with a variety of ISTE standards. (In fact, developing this Professional Learning Plan in itself aligns with ISTE Standard 2.1.a.) The following are some goals I look forward to working towards and associated action steps I plan to take over the next five weeks.

Check back occasionally through the end of September 2024 to track progress. Artifacts and reflections will be added to the Notes section for each step so the details of how goals came to fruition are shared.
