You should establish a realistic time line for your professional development (PD) activities. You should include all PD activities from each of your plan’s objectives to receive a holistic view of your PD Plan. Each professional growth activity listed on your CEO Professional Development Time Line and Activities Template in Lesson 5 will be included in this time line. 

Additionally, other activities pertinent to the CEO process should be included. Sequentially organize these activities in your time line as you schedule them. 

Developing a CEO Activities Time Line

Many successful candidates have agreed that the most difficult component of developing their CEO Plan was developing a realistic time line. The time line is used to organize professional activities that will be incorporated into your CEO Portfolio. As you continue through the CEO phases, you will locate and participate in additional growth activities, adding these to your time line. You should review the time line on a regular basis to consider the time necessary for you to: 
 

• Use the provided template in the assignment. This graphic organizer will not only help you see obvious conflicts in a plan, but the final product also becomes an important component of both the Plan and the Portfolio.
• Build the time line around naturally occurring events in the school year. You should schedule PD activities far enough in advance of their classroom application to demonstrate growth over time for each skill.
• Schedule opportunities to measure student progress at logical times during the term or semester. Students will perform better if measurements fall within a schedule that feels natural to them.
• Start with the details already known. You should research the dates of the major regional, state, and national conferences in the content area and build them into the Plan. These events will inform you when to schedule other related activities.
• Establish semesters in which to enroll in graduate courses.
