Part 1: Goals

When completing the Individual Supervision Plan – Part 1: Goal Setting, the professional employee will focus on: A) an administrator assigned category or B) from a collaboration agreed upon by the mentor, administrator and teacher. The choosing category should be chosen from the areas outlined below. Individual Supervision Plans (ISP) will be designed to enhance skills and practices in the assigned category or another area of need not specified under a category, but necessary as a school or professional need. Employees may also choose to focus on additional categories so as to not to limit goal setting possibilities.

NOTE: All levels must do an ISP; however, track three employees must include areas of deficiency outlined for improvement by their primary supervisor. Level three Improvement results will be included in their year-end evaluation report.
