Component 1: Description of Teacher Experience Situations, School Environment, and Community
This component of your plan should include specific information about each of the three profiles.

 

Plan Information Components

 

Profiles

 

Information to Include

 

Teacher Experience

 

Your strengths and talents, current content area, grade level, and the number of years you have taught; include any other information that you feel is pertinent to the Plan.

 

School Environment

 

Ethnic diversity, number of low socio-economic students, and whether or not the school is located in an urban, suburban, or rural setting; information that would help the scoring team understand the school and its culture; e.g., transient populations, ESL, support systems in the school, and programs and schedules to meet student needs.

 

Community

 

Ethnic diversity, number of low socio-economic residents, and whether or not the community is urban, suburban, or rural; information that would help the scoring team understand the community and its culture; e.g., opportunities for employment, commerce, and tourism.

 

Component 2: Needs Statements and How They Were Derived
This component of your plan should include information about your own professional development needs, your school needs, and data that supports how needs were derived. Satisfying these needs will prove to the scoring team that you have had a significant effect on student learning and that you have earned your rank change.

Examine this component to ensure that the following information is included:

  1. Identify one subject area in which to concentrate throughout the CEO program. 
  2. Show that there is a strong need for improvement of student knowledge in this area, e.g., low achievement in math.
  3. Link academic need to knowledge, i.e. one’s personal strength in geometry with one’s weakness in algebra.
  4. Show how those needs are supported by the results of student assessments, teacher evaluations, school surveys, and/or school and district consolidated school improvement plans.
  5. Tell which specific sub-categories are weak as you develop the need for a change in instruction.
  6. Support that need with multiple sources of data (see step 4). 
     

Component 3: Goals
This component of your plan should provide goals that address your professional development needs as well as your school’s needs.

Examine this component to ensure that the following information is included:

  1. Three project goals that address the needs defined in Component 
  2.  a. Instructional Content: One goal to improve teacher and student knowledge in a subject area.
     b. Instructional Strategy: One goal to improve teacher growth and student achievement that addresses the need for a change in instruction in that subject area.
     c. Leadership Skills:  One goal to improve teacher growth and student achievement based on leadership skills.
  3. The three goals should have long-term affects. For example, the following goal meets the requirements: Improve student knowledge and methods of conservation so that the students will have the skills necessary to preserve the environment for future generations.
  4. Use the goals to unify the CEO Plan and maintain focus on the one subject area. The goals template will assist with formatting.

Component 4: Measurable Objectives
This component of your plan should address your goals.  Write measurable objectives for each goal.

  1. Write two measurable objectives for each of the three goals: one teacher objective and one student objective.
  2. Each objective should state in measurable outcomes at what degree of proficiency the outcome will be achieved.

Component 5: Professional Development Activities Time Line (from Lesson 5)
