Developing as a Professional
Educator

A Look Forward: My Goal

As an educator I hope to continue my

effectiveness by attending professional
development courses, conferences,
certifications, and activities in all subject areas.

In the next 1 to 2 years, I would like to be

Direct Instruction (DI) Certified in the district I
currently teach in, which is highly recognizable.

Professional
Development

We look at educators of today as leaders. They must take

risks and embrace new pedagogy (Crocket, Jukes, &
Churches, 2001, p. 14). Teachers are life long learners and
need to continue their professional development and
education. Setting goals to be an effective teacher is
imperative. Every teacher has both, strengths and
weaknesses, but, how they identify those areas, enhance
personal strategies, and improve instructional tools to
improve the effectiveness for student benefit is the important
aspect. Teachers need to continuously adapt,
accommodate, supplement, and improve, in both teaching
and learning.
