Professional Learning Plan Institutes

In support of the new Educator Evaluation and Support Plans, Leaders, educators and PDEC members from across the state are invited to participate in a one-and-half-day professional learning opportunity focused on creating impactful Professional Learning Plans (PLPs). The sessions will cover the processes and available resources for developing PLPs that include high-leverage goals, meaningful professional learning plans and aligned evidence. Participants will leave with their own draft PLP for the 2025-26 school year. Additionally, participants will receive samples and resources to bring back to their PDEC committees, district leaders and educators to be shared and used as a resource in support of your 2025-26 work. Districts will receive reimbursement for participation. 

Two sessions are being offered. The recommended participants for the leadership sessions are a member of central office (evaluator) and building leader (evaluatee), encouraged to attend together. The recommended participants for the educator sessions are a building leader (evaluator) and educator (evaluatee), encouraged to attend together (one or both participants in these sessions may be PDEC members). Attending as a team is not mandatory, however, collaboration among educators and leaders and their evaluators throughout the PLP development process will strengthen the overall professional learning community. Please complete the Google form and you will be notified of your participation.

Participants will leave with:

• A clear understanding of a quality professional learning plan to advance leader, educator and student learning growth and achievement.
• Access to a toolkit of resources, for your use and for collaboration with PDECs, designed to help leaders and educators within your district in creating meaningful and effective professional learning plans.
• Professional contribution to our field of education in CT, as work completed may be utilized within a state toolkit.
