This report I will be discussing my professional development plan and how I managed to
achieve my goals for this semesters PDP, I tried to achieve my goals during my teaching
practice and collected some evidence of my work to get to my goal for this year, and I wrote
this professional development plan because I want to gather information on ways that I can
improve myself during this semester and work with the teachers professionally and be able to
identify the mistakes I made in earlier semesters and work on them, because, if I want to be a
professional teacher and asses students learning, you need to develop yourself every time you
make a mistake teaching, teachers need a professional development plan or a “PDP” and all
teachers should be actively working on their plan, to assess where they are now and make
development and change to their teaching.
In my professional development plan the first
thing I wanted to work on time management
for the classroom, so I had some things to
assess me with time management, I added a
timers to the lessons I would be teaching so
the students kn ow how muc time to take on
activities and I would know when to finish
a lesson.
and wrote the time I will be taking in each
section of the class on my lesson plans and
I followed it strictly without any fail.
And my students got used to the timer I
had for them, it was becoming a routine
for them and it made the lessons much

easier for me and them, they would sometimes ask me to put the timer on if I forgot, for
doing some activities, or when explaining a certain section or when they have a 5-minute
break.
The second goal I wanted to achieve during my teaching practice was to (manage students)
which is a big goal for me, it was a bit difficult to achieve since the teaching was online this
time and I couldn’t communicate with the students, I tried to communicate with the student's
parents and get their number in and have a WhatsApp group talking to them which made it
easier for the parents to communicate with me and tell me what would their student want to
make the lesson easier for them.
I put the students in groups according to their levels because I wanted to
give each student an appropriate activity for them to do to improve on, the
students would try to be better when they are working with students who
are a higher level and would help each other during it, even though the
classes were online I talked to some of the parents to work with each group
of students in the same group and their parents so it can be easier for them
to work in groups.
To manage the students I also had an evaluation for the students each week
according to the group theyre in, so each group would be evaluated, each
week and they would answer some questions that would determine if they
are good at that subject or medium or weak in it,
and I would write it so I can help them improve.
