"Teaching Changes: Planning for the Future"

One goal which most teachers strive for is improvement in teaching. However, it is easy to be overwhelmed by ideas and plans. The purpose of this worksheet is to get you to focus on ONE area of teaching which you plan to develop in the future. You should plan to identify areas in your teaching which you would like to develop, gather feedback relevant to those areas, analyze that feedback, and where appropriate, find effective ways to implement changes. Please answer the following questions briefly and as specifically as possible. The completed worksheet can be printed out or e-mailed to Sydney at sra113@psu.edu.

1. What one area of your teaching will you focus upon in the coming year (be as specific as possible)?

2. Why would like to make changes in this area? What changes relevant to this area would you like to see occur?

3. How will you create an environment that is conducive to these changes?

4. How will you implement these changes? Will these changes require more time or resources on your part?

4. How will you measure the success of these changes?
