Here is my personal developmental plan to achieve my goals as well as for development of students in their life.
Personal power:- it is the authority others believe you. It provide you power to do anything and believe you in certain situations. It should be filled with knowledge, confidence, contacts and seeking to learn more which consequently produce more opportunities and leads to personal as well as professional growth.
Instructional practices: I believe that teacher have to adopt different practices in class according to the needs of students and it should be changed according to the interest of the students for example if students like difficult to learn something during class discussion, then they can bed encouraged to get it in group work where they share their ideas and can learn together.
Hands-on opportunities : Class discussion and lectures can provide information to the students only to some extent , to make it more effective, interesting and easy to understand ,experiments are pivotal . It not only gives the chance to students to work independently but also activate their prior knowledge which helps them to learn effectively and for long time.
Mentoring :- sometimes it is hard to convey what exactly teacher wants ,moreover, many times the implementation of new strategies need support and time, to resolve this issue teacher should offer guide the students and offers non-evaluative feedback. Support and mentoring can help them to improve their performance in classroom.
Cultural competence :- Teacher should incorporate different cultural events, languages and history to their curriculum and adapt teaching methods to be culturally responsive so that students from different cultural backgrounds feel equal part of class.
Assessment strategies:- ongoing checks for understanding during the class and summative assessments after the completion of unit is helpful to guide the students. Additionally, using different methods to provide feedback like written comments, one on one communication can enhance their productivity .
Professional Associations:- Professional Associations provides teachers to access of new and updated resources, journals and publications which also provides a chance to make connections with other experts where you can exchange information, ideas and learn something new.
Reflective Practices:- teacher should also give importance to self reflection like teaching experiences, improvement areas and success. Regular assessment can be proved beneficial by providing you new chances of learning and make adjustments according to the requirements and feedback of students.
