mistake of waiting too long. However, I believe this is part of professional development because
one receives a lot of one on one mentoring. This mentoring comes through a master teacher and
will help myself develop applicable strategies that can be used in my classroom. I further
anticipate connecting with my department on a personal level to develop trust within the work
place. Teachers need to trust one another so constructive criticism can be applied without hurting
someone’s feelings. Additionally, I plan to connect with my master teachers because they have
strategies and organization that has been proven to work. It can be hard being new and having
ideas that just won’t work for the situation I am in. This is why I will look to those who have
done this job for a while and have experienced what I am going through. Lastly, I plan to add to
my website in creating pages for my units to become more developed in this 21st century.
FIVE YEAR PLAN 3
Students prefer being online and using technology and it is time I join in the club. This will also
help me assess activities and make changes for the following year.
Year 2 Goals
The reason I will continue with the GOPHERS seminars are because they’re an easy way
to gather information on what others are doing in their classroom, at their school, and in their
community. These seminars come out once a month and are only an hour long. I can spend one
prep period learning how to do something better. This is very valuable and a great way to
advance my professional development. I would also like to attend the SHAPE conference in Salt
Lake city, Utah. I can earn roughly 25 credits over the course of this weekend. This is something
that will help me in my school district as far as pay is concerned, but I am looking into this for
the knowledge of the events. I would be able to see demonstrations and meet Physical Education
Year 3 Goals
First, I would love to attend the PEACH conference in my third year. During the first two
years I would mainly be sticking close to home with my fellow coworkers. However, now I
would like to branch out and start attending conferences. This is a great way to see how common
core is being implemented in physical education today. I would gain credits for my professional
development, but this would depend highly on what I attend. Furthermore, I need to enroll in a
technology course around this time. I know I tend to fall into old habits as I move through life. I
anticipate myself going back to how I was taught and I do not want this to happen. I need to
remember that technology is the way of the future. My students deserve to learn in a way that

suits them and I should be able to provide this. Learning more about technology will improve my
teaching and make me look even more professional in this competitive job market.
Year 4 Goals
I have always wanted to attend the CAHPERD conference, but it is always during
football, which is the sport I coach. However, by my fourth year I should have a little say as what
to do and could take a little time away to progress in my professional development. This
conference focuses on quality teaching, inclusion, research, leadership, advocacy and wellness.
Physical education is changing and teachers need to see first-hand how it needs to be taught. We
are moving away from direct instruction and skills tests and going to learning games for
understanding. CAHPERD has done an excellent job utilizing researched based strategies for
teaching and should be looked to when notices the success in their class is dropping.
Year 5 Goals
I saved the Glacier clinics for my fifth year because of the importance I put on physical
education. In my opinion teaching comes first before coaching. I love to coach, but my first job
is to teach. However, I need to improve on my coaching because of the teaching job I hold. So, I
plan to attend three Glacier clinics this year that will give me knowledge on how to be a great
head coach as well as schemes within the packages I run. Lastly, I want to join a leadership
council in order to further develop my skills as a leader. This will also give me a different look
