Evaluate and Revise
My current reassessment of my needs assessment survey had encompassed more teachers who took the survey and so more

information was gathered. Due to this the needs of my staff changed and with it so must my professional development plan. “As a

person matures his/her time perspective changes from one of postponed application of knowledge to immediacy of application”

(Pappas, 2013).My original plan had focused on Google Classroom and an over arching Google Suite training. My new plan still

covers those needs because it was still something that came out of a needs assessment, but now a new element is being addressed that

incorporates those other trainings within the new need that will be addressed.

In the current survey a need for training in the flipped classroom was prevalent. With the increasing level of technology being

introduced into our day to day teaching practice more teachers are interested in learning ways to move away from traditional methods

of teaching into a digital learning environment.

This professional learning plan is broken up into several sessions on ways to implantation the flipped classroom with an

integration of the Google Suite because the previous needs assessment showed that teachers on campus would prefer shorter sessions

over time. The shorter sessions provide the opportunity to reflect on what was taught and gives a chance for teachers trying to put it

into practice before attending the next training.

With that in mind several assessments were also added into the new professional learning plan to monitor teachers as they

implement trainings as well as provide feedback on how well my training impacted them. These assessments allow me to change

anything within my presentations for me to be able to address further needs that may arise from teacher input. “The ultimate goal of

professional development (PD) is the effective implementation of skills and strategies that enhance knowledge and transfer of

learning” (RMC, n.d.). To do that assessment need to be completed, reflected on, and revised if needed to provide the best training for

teachers so they can in turn transfer it into successful student learning, which is why this professional learning plan has been revised.
