inform instruction?◦ Other Reflections?
Evaluate
All teachers are expected to write an IGP/Reflective
Journal in the 2nd year of implementation in TAP
schools. The IGP/Reflective Journal is a record-
keeping document and log to support teachers in
their own professional growth and to ensure that
growth in classroom practice is clearly connected
to measureable increases in student achievement.
Need
By May 2012 all students will improve on the
TCAP by demonstrating at least one year’s growth
and as monitored by the department
administered monthly assessments and the
district MAP tests.
Yearly Cluster Goal
What is the purpose of reflection? What is the purpose of reflecting about

Based on needs of individual teacher’s students◦ Instructional practices to improve students learning outcomes
Measurable for students and teachers◦ The goal should be written in measurable terms of students’ growth, not averages but
individual growth

Modeling…
By the end of cycle 2 during the 2012-2013 school year, I will increase my observation score from a 2 to a 3 on presenting instructional content by focusing on modeling with visuals in the classroom to ensure students have a clear understanding of expectations.
Goal
Exemplar of an individual goal By the end of cycle 2, during the 2012-2013
school year, I will increase my observation score from a 2 to a 3 on problem solving by using categorization and identifying relevant/irrelevant information strategies to increase student comprehension of new concepts.
IGP Examples
Exemplar of an individual goal By the end of Cycle 2 during the 2012-2013
school year, I will increase my observation score from a 2 to a 3 on Lesson Structure and Pacing by implementing clearly segmented lessons with a beginning, middle and end to provide sufficient time for students to practice the skill and demonstrate their mastery.
IGP Examples
Exemplar of an individual goal
By the end of Cycle 3 during the 2012-13

students and giving specific and high quality
feedback to one another.
