Competence-building professional growth and development plans are appropriate for use with induction-contract teachers as well as with annual-contract teachers who are receiving diagnostic assistance. Competence-building professional growth and development plans may also be appropriate for teachers who are undergoing formal evaluation and for teachers who are participating in goals-based evaluation (GBE) when performance weaknesses have been identified. In developing competence-building professional growth and development plans for classroom-based teachers, districts may elect to use the following optional templates, or districts may develop their own forms, consistent with the ADEPT System Guidelines.

Using the templates below, each competence-building professional growth and development plan must include a cover page and one or more goal pages. All templates are in Microsoft Word format
