PDP Professional Development Plan
Take some time to read through your MST/MCT report from last semester. Highlight (or take notes) on comments, which identify points of
development. Choose one or two which you feel are especially important and write them in the table. Then decide which competency it is,
what you want to achieve in this area this semester and finally note how you will achieve this.

After the Task - Reflection
Reflect upon your progress towards your goals.
Before starting the lesson teacher should plan and organize her ideas by making a lesson plan that include all the learning objectives that
need to be achieved during the lesson. Preparing learning objectives before we start the lesson can provide the teacher with self-esteem,
class time management and create clear process during the lesson (Pang, 2016). However, according to my experiences as a student
teacher, I believe that the teacher should use clear and useful learning objectives to achieve the lesson goals so, I was preparing my lesson
plans before two days to discuss it with my MST. Further, in my bravoes practicum one of my MST recommendation was to focus on the
classroom management after activities so this time I choose to use the points technique to encourage students and manage the classroom
Moreover, I choose to focus on supporting communication skills between the students because this can provide students with more
vocabulary and knowledge in the classroom this also, can develop students self-motivation and develop their social skills (Bakhurst, 2015).
