During my three years at UW-Platteville, I have had many opportunities to test and stretch my strengths and weaknesses as a teacher. Some of these opportunities include: working at Giggles and Wiggles Day Care, Volunteering at Family Connections, Tutoring the same girl in mathematics for two years, and participating in in-class activities. One thing my pre-student teaching cooperating teacher told me was my biggest weakness is a lack of self-confidence. I know that this is true. But it is a hard concept to work on other than pure experience. Some of the strengths I see in myself are patience, creativity, and a desire to learn. These have been shown in my work with students and in the projects I have prepared for classes. Because I feel I have a naturally good personality to be a teacher, it is frustrating to me that I still lack the self-confidence when I am performing in front of other adults. Another thing that I see as a growth area is collaboration. I tend to enjoy doing things on my own rather than in a group. However, I know that in the teaching world, students benefit when teachers collaborate with each other. I have really enjoyed observing my two team-teachers in early childhood teach together. It has helped me to see collaboration as a positive and fun thing rather than a burden to the teacher. Step II: Writing the PlanCOMPONENTS A. Description of School and Teaching, Administrative, or Pupil Services Situation
Boscobel Area school district is a rural school district. The school is located in Boscobel, Wisconsin. The vision of the district is to prepare individuals for life-long learning by providing the opportunity to grow socially, physically, mentally, emotionally, within a safe, nurturing environment. The district works to prepare students for success in life, to ensure safety, to partner with parents and the community, to create a welcome environment, support families, provide equity, and ensure quality educators and programs.

Being a small district, there is only one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. There is also an alternative school in place to meet the needs of some of Boscobels at risk-students. Boscobel Elementary School had 475 students enrolled in the year of 2012/2013. Of those 475 students, over 96 percent were white and 62 percent were economically disadvantaged.
Review Checklist for Description of School Situation
Did you include a description of your teaching, pupil services, or administrative position? Did you include the number of years you have taught, been an administrator, or been in pupil services? Did you include whether the school is located in an urban, suburban, or rural setting? Did you include the ethnic, special needs, and socioeconomic makeup of the school population? Did you include your building goals/mission and/or district goals/mission?
I will develop stronger collaborative ties with other teachers and parents so that students will be able to benefit from the broad array of learning styles and personalities represented in my collaborative partners. I will learn basic Spanish classroom vocabulary so that I am prepared to teach students with a Hispanic background more efficiently. I will work to understand higher level mathematics so that I can establish a strong mathematics foundation for my students.
I will research classroom management so that I will have resources and information on how to build my classroom management skills. I will build my knowledge of childrens literature so that I can provide easy access to appropriate level works for students.
C. Rationale for the Goal: Links to Professional Situation and Wisconsin Educator Standards

Initial educators must submit Step II, A-E, to a PDP Team for Goal Approval. Step III: Annual Review of the PDP
Annual reviews are done in years two, three, and four and will be submitted as part of your completed plan in the last year of your licensure cycle.
Return to Step II E and enter completion dates for each activity completed. Write a reflection in year two summarizing the progress made towards completing your goal. Indicate, in your reflection, how you grew professionally and/or how your professional growth had an effect on student learning. Write any revisions to your objectives or activities in the revision area. Return to this step annually until your PDP is complete and ready to be submitted for verification.
Initial Educators may complete a 3, 4, or 5 year plan. One annual review is required for a three-year plan, two annual reviews are required for a four-year plan, and three annual reviews are required for a five-year plan. If there is a substantial change to your GOAL, you must complete and resubmit section II A-II E to a team for review and approval of the new goal.
