EIDT-6500-1 Performance Improvement
My personal employee development plan would be based on that provided by the “Society for Human Resource Management: Organizational & Employee Development (2011)”. I am assuming that my principal will be willing to agree to some of my suggestions for professional development
| Goals 1. To become a leader for positive change in my workplace. I found that although the new school at which I teach is an excellent school it is also unwelcoming to new teachers who are not acquainted with their system. (Pace, A. (2010). Unleashing positivity in the workplace.) 2. To acquaint my principal with Dr. Noe’s suggestions for Professional Assessments. Professional Assessments can be used to more specifically evaluate job performance and behavior by teaching how to achieve the correct professional standards. (Noe, R. A. (2010). Employee training and development) 3. To acquaint myself with local resources for further professional development – local universities, further on-line educational opportunities, colleagues who are experts in an area and can become mentors. One teacher, in particular, has had a great deal of experience teaching reading. I would like to approach her and get to know her methods. 4. Continue to pursue formal education through Walden by earning a second Master’s Degree in Reading or a Doctoral degree in another field. I have learned many different things through this Master’s degree course, in Instructional Design and Technology. I wish to become an even better teacher through furthering my education. Strategies 1. Become familiar with the methodology for “Unleashing Positivity in the Workplace,” an article in Training and Development that indicates that the workplace needs to reflect human compassion and understanding. 2. Explore further resources regarding Professional Assessments and presenting them to my principal and requesting that we follow these principles at our next observation. 3. Do research on what local institutions offer and explore what other teachers are doing in their classrooms. Approach my principal about opportunities for professional development by visiting classrooms of expert teachers. 4. Contact a counselor at Walden University and speak to an Enrollment Advisor. |
