Name: Lea Ambion

Building and Assignment: Cascade High School, Algebra CL, PreCalculus
Standard/Criterion: PPA 8: Students engage in learning activities that are based on research and principles of
effective practice.
Step 1 - Needs Assessment and Goal Selection
A. Professional Growth Area of Focus
Your self-assessment using the Descriptions of Practice, discussions with your Professional Growth Team, and
the review of school/district plans will provide guidance on a specific area for growth within the selected criterion.
B. Rationale
What will your students be able to do as a result of your professional growth that they are not now able to do?
MY PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS WILL ANSWER AND POSE MORE QUESTIONS IN CLASS WITHOUT
HESITATION AND THEREFORE PROMOTE MORE MATH-RELATED DISCUSSION. PARTICIPATION BY
STUDENTS WILL ENCOURAGE MORE STUDENT-BASED LEARNING RATHER THAN INTRUCTOR-
BASED LEARNING AND IN EFFECT ASSIST IN PACING THE LESSONS ACCORDING TO CLASS-WIDE
ABILITIES.
Step 2 - New Learning

Based on your rationale, what new skills and knowledge (grounded in research) will you need to build your
capacity in this area? Be Specific.
I FEEL THAT INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY INTO MY LESSON PLANS WILL BE ESSENTIAL IN
SUPPORTING A STUDENT-BASED LEARNING AND THIS CAN BE AIDED BY WORKSHOPS THAT TEACH
NEW PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE USED TO CREATE/SUPPORT LESSON PLANS. ALSO I FEEL THAT
SOME EXPERIMENTING WITH CLASSROOM ORGANIZATION WILL ENCOURAGE OPEN DIALOG
BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENTS AND AMONG STUDENTS. I WILL HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO
IMPROVE LESSON PLANS SO THAT I BECOME MORE OF A FACILITATOR OF KNOWLEDGE RATHER
THAN THE DISPENSER OF KNOWLEDGE.
Step 3 - Professional Growth Action Plan
What specific growth activities will you engage in to obtain the identified new learning?
ACTIVITIES TARGET DATE RESOURCES NEEDED
CONSTANT ORGANIZATION MATH PROGRAMS THAT MAY
OF CLASSROOM TO FIND BEST ENHANCE LESSON PLANS.
ARRANGEMENT TO PROMOTE EXAMPLE LESSON PLANS
CLASSROOM DISCUSSION. THAT HAVE BEEN
WORKSHOPS THAT PROMOTE SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING
INTEGRATION OF STUDENT DIALOG IN MATH.
TECHNOLOGY INTO THE
CLASSROOM OR THAT TEACH
HOW TO USE NEW MATH
PROGRAMS.
Step 4 - Evidence Proposed

What evidence might you gather to demonstrate the impact of your professional growth on student
learning as stated in Step 1?
I COULD TAKE A SERIES OF SURVEYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THAT ASKS THE STUDENT
TO RATE THEIR OWN PARTICIPATION AND OTHER STUDENTS, AS WELL AS HOW WELL
THEY GRASP THE MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS. I COULD ALSO USE THIS INFORMATION TO
IMPROVE MY LESSON PLANS AS THE SCHOOL YEAR PROGRESSES.
I COULD ALSO TRACK STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN A NOTEBOOK. I WOULD TRACK
STUDENTS WHO VOLUNTEER ANSWERS AND THOSE THAT I MUST CALL ON. BUT IN ORDER
DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS AN IMPACT I WOULD HAVE TO DEFINE A CORRELATION
BETWEEN CLASS PARTICIPATION AND GRADES EARNED.
Step 5 - Collaboration with the Professional Growth Team

Arrange to consult with your Professional Growth Team and share your plan. Make revisions to your
plan based on feedback.
