Educators as well as students should be surrounded by a positive learning environment that focuses on life-long learning and achievement. A true educator never stops learning; there is always room for growth. Below you will find my Professional Development Plan as of 2018, as I update and complete my 2019 plan, I will also post that plan. However, each year my goal is to continue to grow and learn as an educator. In addition, to my Professional Development Plan, I am also including on this page various professional development opportunities and resources for others to explore including the newsletters I have created for Laurel Technical Institute.
