PD Plans

My school does not have a building or district PD plan. So I was looking on line to find a PD plan and the plans I came up with were so different. I saw the very detailed plan and the very basic plan. Therefore, I did not know what it should really look like. When I received the email from Dr. Closen of various sample plans, I enjoyed variety. In one of the plans it was interesting to see how detailed this plan was and how nicely everything tied together. I was amazed at how organized this plan was compared to the several plans I looked at online. A PD plan should be more than on this date, at this time, we will have this presenter coming in. Some of the plans I noticed had a form for each individual teacher to fill out to establish their goals of their own individual plan. I like how this gave the teacher some ownership with the plan. This assignment was interesting to me, because I have always believed that all schools need a plan big or small. I was told since we are a small district there is not much of a need. I don't agree, I think it is even more important and a lot easier because you have a smaller group of people to plan for.
