Introduce the PDP setting:

Writing a Professional Development Plan goals are very significant. Teachers will feel success and confidence if they achieve their

goals. Barge (2015) states that the Professional development plan is for the teachers to develop their knowledge and skills

[ CITATION Bur20 \l 1033 ]. In the PDP, the teacher writes what she would like to improve in her teaching. Barge (2015) believes

that an effective PDP needs to have specific goals with a specific amount of time you need to reach that goal [ CITATION Bur20 \l

1033 ]. These goals can include assessments that you give to the students, your management skills, and many other areas to improve.

Justify your professional development goals for this semester.

As a teacher, each of them should have a professional learning goal for each subject to be perfect while teaching. Although each

teacher creates an individualized professional development plan based on the level of students in his or her classroom, the subject

taught or any specialized knowledge he or she desires to learn, such as instruction techniques for special education students. Because

the plan can vary helpful to the teacher, to show how they being perfects in professional development. Besides, professional

development plans are designed to assist students with behavior management. The purpose of the professional learning goal of

development plans to help and develop teachers to have and to identify where they're going to find what they need to achieve.
However, A great teacher should have during teaching environment good classroom management, a clear objective, effective skills,

and good communication with partner to be successful. Also, a great teacher is should engage the learners and holds their attention of

students in all discussions it makes the students active and want to learn. Its the teacher's responsibility to let students feel comfortable

with their teacher and the students. In addition, I want to support the students with vocabulary words in my lessons. Ashley (2000)

suggests that “students should learn vocabulary through a variety of methods”[ CITATION Ash00 \l 1033 ].

That illustrates the teacher could use a game or matching while teaching vocabulary to increase students' comprehension. The second

goal that I want to improve it the good time management between each part of my lessons. One researcher suggests that “Time

management is an important part of providing quality education and meeting the needs of every student”[ CITATION Thend \l 1033 ].

So it will help me to be organized and keep on track throughout the day to achieve the goals and my lessons. Another goal I want to

achieve it is to implement prior knowledge to ensure students understand the lesson. According to Laura Wenk “is the knowledge the

learner already has before they meet new information”[ CITATION Lau15 \l 1033 ]. Prior knowledge is to know what students know

and can do when they come into the classroom or before they begin a new topic of study, to build student strengths and acknowledge

and address their weaknesses. And, I want to develop my formative assessment to use it in the classroom to assist students

understanding to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and

by students to improve their learning. Lastly, I want to achieve in my lesson to implement collaborate strategies in small groups to

share their ideas. According to Rebecca “Collaborative learning makes students with different backgrounds, race, or upbringing, to

work together”[ CITATION Reb17 \l 1033 ]. Which means, by giving them solving problem students need to share and see their peers
to have ideas they are able to see their answers. my professional learning goal as a teacher, I should use the PDP for my teaching

practice, because I notice that within making goals the management will be hard to enhance the students and the lessons such as

implementing learning.

Also, it will encourage the students to
participate more
during the lesson because they will
understand the concept of the lesson better.
Furthermore, they will have
a background knowledge about what they
will learn about.
I believe by implementing this goal it will be
very beneficial

words, they will learn different skills. Such
as: reading and writing skills
will develop. According to Huyen & Nga
“Students will recognize the vocabulary and

My implementation for this goal
during my teaching practice. I believe that I
achieved what I aimed for because the
students
were more independent during the activity
time so they should understand the
vocabulary to understand the activity. I think
that will help them to be
more confident to take role in there learning
during the lesson. Furthermore, I notice that
the
students during the lesson were more active
and engage. I believe because
they were having support with the
vocabulary as
a result, they understand the concept of the
lesson.
I will improve this goal by having small
activity

students will get a chance to practice the
vocabulary of the lesson. For instance: I can
get
the students to complete between each other

I

Goal 2:  To have time management during the lesson.
 
Action 2: -  I will provide a detailed lesson plan that has the lesson time

Also because the students will have final
exams. Also, to follow the plan that I set for
my classes and students. Furthermore, I
need to make sure that I follow at least 70%
of my plan as a teacher during the lesson. In

There is different type of pre-assessment for
example (KWL chart, concept map, think
pair share and turn and talk, graphic
organizer, guess box and games activities).
I choose this area because pre-assessment
helps the students to discuss and share ideas
about the concept and get different point of
views. Therefore, students will be socially
and cognitively improved.
Second reason because it will help the
students to remember about previous topic
that is related to the new topic, which I can
link it to blooms taxonomy (remembering
stage).
Third reason is pre-assessment will get the
teacher to know the depth of student’s
knowledge therefore, teacher can plan for
the whole semester using plans and ideas to

style.
In addition, According to Thomas
“Cognitive pre-assessments address
academic goals and focus on what students
know and can do”.[ CITATION Tho18 \l
