Professional Growth Plan

Name: Sarah Siewert PS III 2018/19

Differentiation
Goal 1: - Focus on differentiation for students who are struggling in my grade
one math classes, and grade two reading class. The grade ones are
currently learning how to add; however, many students have yet to
learn their numbers. For reading, there are several students who are
below grade level. They will need addition one on one support.

- For students who are unable to complete

assignments to encourage students to use
their individual strengths in demonstrating
knowledge.
Time Line Resources
January 2019 – April 2019 (ongoing) - Teacher mentor and colleagues: provide
information about students in class.
- University of Lethbridge Curriculum Lab:
many different resources for differentiation
both in the lab and on the website.
- Fellow PS III students: other students
teaching classes may have different
approaches to specific concepts.
Creating Engaging Learning Activities
Goal 2: - Something that I struggle with is classroom management, but I believe
this is because I sometimes struggle with coming up with engaging
learning activities for my students.

Strategies Indicators and Measures of Achievement


- Trial and error: Testing out learning - Students are engaged and eager to take
activities to see what works best for each ownership of their learning
group of students - Students need few reminders to stay on
- Have students work in small groups, task because they are engaged with the
partners, and individually to see what activity
works best for them -The classroom reflects a positive learning
- Let students explore the content instead of environment
lecturing to them
