learned in class.

• Look at the NETS-T and look at the results of the
ProfilerPro survey you took:
o The survey is actually organized by the standards.
o The results should diagnose your strengths and areas of
improvement.
o Interpreting the results will guide you to set your
professional development goals.

11. PROFESSIONAL GOALS (based on Profiler-Pro)
Let’s look at some sample e-Portfolio NETS-T Standards page.
