IPDP The Educator’s Roadmap to Increased Student Achievement Directions for Professional Growth Initiating your IPDP Online

What is your IPDP? The Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) is your plan for how you will grow as a professional during the school year. FLDOE Professional Development Protocol Standard 1. 1. 3. Individual Professional Development Plan: The educator’s IPDP specifies the professional learning needs related to identified student achievement goals for those students to which the educator is assigned; aligned with the educator’s level of development; and contains: a) clearly defined professional learning goals that specify measurable improvement in student achievement; b) changes in the educator’s practices resulting from professional learning; and c) an evaluation plan that determines the effectiveness of the professional learning. (Results Question: How students improved as a result…)

Individual Professional Development Plan (IPDP) The IPDP is a component of the DCPS CAST multi-metric evaluation system. All 2016 -17 IPDPs will be initiated and documented through the district CAST portal system by October 28, 2016. Two formats are provided: Experienced and MINT.

Getting Started Before writing your IPDP consider the following: • Your current classroom-level disaggregated student achievement data • Your previous year IPDP and CAST data • School Improvement Plan (SIP) • Current school initiatives Consider using the IPDP planning template, which is available on the Professional Development webpage. The online version may “time out” if you spend extended time without entering information.
