Discipline referrals have dropped by 30% since implementation of the classroom management plan that focused on teaching procedures and expectations. 
Procedures are more appropriate for the age of the students as evidenced by a higher rate of success and more time on task.

D. Narrative 
 Teacher’s Comments: 
I have seen the results of teaching and reinforcing 
procedures in my classroom.  The discipline referrals 
are fewer and the students are responding in a positive 
manner to having clear procedures consistently in 
place. 
Mentor’s Comments: 
Mr. New’s classroom m anagem e nt plan has  had  a 
definite positive effect on his students.  There is more 
learning going on in the classroom, less confusion and 
the students have more time on task.  He needs to 
continue to follow through with established procedures 
and not let up the 2
nd
 half of the school year. 
Administrator’s Comments: 
Mr. New’s referral rate  has dr op ped significant l y  
since the first month of the school year. 
During walkthroughs and his second formal 
observation, I observed several strat egi es being used 
that were part of a recent reading in the content area 
workshop that he attended with me.  Students were 
engaged during the lessons.

Professional Development Plan – End-of-Year Review to be completed by (date) _May 15, 2010_____ 
Teacher: Max New  Academic Year: 2009-2010 
E.  Evidence of Progress toward Specific Standards or Elements to be Addressed/Enhanced 
Goal 1:  Mr. New’s discipline referrals have dropped by 60% since the implementation of his classroom management plan.  He was able to maintain the focus of the plan’s expectations 
throughout the school year and should start out in the Fall more confident and in control.  Additionally, through observations, it is evident that students are spending more time on task than at 
the beginning of the school year. 
Goal 2:  Mr. New attended three workshops during the school year on reading and writing in the content area.  He has incorporated at least four of the strategies he learned at the workshops 
into his lesson plans.  Through observations of experienced master teachers and reflection of practice, he has been able to adjust what he is learning in the workshops for more positive 
impact on his students.  His lesson plans are more detailed and the objectives for each lesson are more concise and measurable.  His student grades on benchmark tests here at the school have 
improved on average by 6%.

G. Narrative 
 Teacher’s Comments: 
I feel like it is finally coming together!  The classroom 
management plan that I put together based on 
suggestions from my mentor and the observation s of 
master teachers, made a huge difference in what I was 
able to do with my students and instruction.  Learning 
new strategies for writing and reading helped me with 
lesson planning an d instruction.  I can see the 
improvement in my students.   
Mentor’s Comments: 
Mr. New has been receptive to suggestions and has 
used the opportunities to observe master teachers to 
improve his classroom management and lesson plans.  
His students have more time on task and have clear 
expectations of what is expected of them.  His 
confidence is much improved and he ended the year in 
a positive manner.  He is already looking to the fall and 
is planning based on what he learned this year. 
Administrator’s Comments: 
I have seen much improvement in Mr. New’s 
classroom – the management plan has resulted in 
fewer referrals and calls to the office.  His lesson 
plans and instruction reflects an increase in use of 
strategies to improve writing and reading  in his 
content and student benchmark scores have increased.
