The document outlines a supervision for growth program with two routes: formative and summative. The formative route involves goals and coaching, while the summative route is a formal evaluation for new teachers over their first one or two years. The program includes guidelines for pre-conferences, data collection, and post-conferences. Teachers develop growth plans with goals, objectives, actions, and indicators of success. Mentor goals differ from coaching goals. Growth plans are due by the end of September.

like to work on according to the selected domain.
 Think: Where am I? Where do I want to be?

10.  The objective is a more specific aspect that will help
you get there.
 Think: How will I get there?

11.  Action plans are a list of the activities/actions that
you will take.
 Think: What activities will I pursue to achieve my
objectives?

12.  Indicators of Success describe how you will know
you have achieved your objectives.

objectives? What is the evidence?

13. Mentor vs. Coach
A mentor goal applies to anyone working with a
new teacher to the profession, school or division or
anyone being mentored.
If you are working with a colleague or PLC then this
would be a coaching goal and applies to both the
coach and the one being coached.
