How Will I Grow and How Will I Know?
|
Professional GrowthAn important aspect of professional growth is the notion of life-long learning. To me, this is not a notion, but a necessity for continuous growth in teaching. Professional growth has many synonyms in teaching circles -Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), School Learning Teams (SLTs), Teacher Professional Growth Plans (TPGPs) - but growth is unattainable unless it is desired. Further, a complement to life-long learning is life-long assessing of learning, that is, the ability to clearly reflect on areas of strength and growth in my teaching. Life-long learning cannot exist without life-long assessing of learning.
