Teacher Professional Growth Plans offered online by ATA

Teachers have a professional responsibility to keep abreast of new developments in education and to continue to develop their professional practice. In Alberta, every teacher employed by a school system must develop and implement an annual plan for professional growth that outlines the professional development activities the teacher intends to undertake in that year. The requirements for an annual professional growth plan are outlined in the Teacher Growth, Supervision and Evaluation Policy of Alberta Education. The Alberta Teachers’ Association’s website (www.teachers.ab.ca) features a self-paced tutorial developed by the Association to help teachers develop a professional growth plan. For more information about teacher professional growth, supervision and evaluation, contact ATA staff at 447-9400 (in Edmonton) or 1-800-232-7208 (elsewhere in Alberta).
