Key Features:

1. Fully Structured Process: This 6-page plan walks you through the entire growth cycle, from initial reflection to end-of-cycle review.
2. Deep Self-Reflection: The plan begins with a "Self-Reflection & Professional Inquiry" section, prompting you to identify strengths, celebrations and areas for growth based on student data and your own practice.
3. SMART Goal Setting: Guides you to develop 1-2 specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART) goals. It includes dedicated sections for a student-focused goal and a professional practice goal explicitly aligned with the APST.
4. Clear Action Planning: For each goal, there is dedicated space to outline your action plan, the strategies you'll implement, the support and resources you'll need and the evidence you'll use to measure progress.
5. Built-in Check-Ins: Features a "Mid-Cycle Check-In" to assess progress, note successes and challenges, and make adjustments. The "End-Cycle Check-In" helps you summarise your achievements and reflect on your impact on both student learning and your own teaching practice.
6. School Goal Alignment: Includes a prompt to connect your professional inquiry to your school's broader strategic improvement plan or annual goals.
