TKES
Teachers will receive in-depth professional
learning on the Teacher Keys Effectiveness
System (TKES). Through this process, they will
acquire an in-depth understanding of the 10 TAPS
standards. Teachers will be given continual
feedback throughout the year on their
performance as related to these standards, which
will directly impact student performance and
increase achievement.
If teachers implement
highly effective
instructional practices,
then SGPs (Student
Growth Percentiles) will
reflect increased student
achievement.
Ongoing
throughout the
2013-2014 school
year.

Common Core Implementation
All grade levels have defined specific annual goals
to increase student achievement in English
Language Arts through the implementation of
Common Core standards. Specifically, teachers
will increase the utilization of non-fiction text
across all content areas, emphasize content area
writing, and incorporate performance based
assessments.
If teachers integrate ELA
standards across all
content areas, then
student achievement in all
areas will increase
accordingly.
Ongoing
throughout the
2013-2014 school
year.

2013-14 Professional Learning Plan
for School Improvement Planning
School Name: Sharon Elementary
Professional Learning Goal(s):
Connection to Continuous Improvement Goal(s):
Our school improvement goals and professional learning plans were developed after
in-depth data analysis by each grade level. Research has shown that schools with the
greatest gains in achievement engage in professional development and implement a
process for monitoring implementation of the school improvement plan.
Our professional learning plan was designed to align with our school improvement
plan. Our professional learning provided teachers with practical instructional
strategies and interventions to impact student achievement for students of all ability
levels.
