Survey your staff or community at any time using the MyLearningPlan Survey Tool. You can assign surveys to Departments, Grades, Buildings, Administrators, Groups, Individuals or All Users. Conducting a Needs Assessment survey is one way to collect data to help understand educators’ problems, dilemmas, and concerns, in order to identify professional learning needs that will inform the planning of well-targeted and highly efficient professional learning experiences.
The Survey Tool automatically summarizes results into tables and graphs, and data can be downloaded to Microsoft Excel. Responses can be anonymous, or not, and can be shared with staff to help build shared understanding of a topic.
District leaders can use PD Plans to conceptualize and record the district’s primary professional learning initiatives for the year or other timeframe. Each Plan includes fields for noting baseline student data and a summary from any teacher needs assessment surveys, as well as the alignment to district goals, and the Plan’s educator learning goals and student impact goals.
In addition, the PD Plan enables leaders to note the learning opportunities and assessment measures that will be used to collect evidence of learning at the knowledge, classroom application, and student impact levels, as a result from all of the learning experiences that are linked to the Plan.

Empower staff to manage their own professional growth by setting up Individual Professional Development Plans, which enable educators to identify and document their professional growth goals, aligned to district and/or building goals or standards. Like any form, IPDP forms can be routed for review and approval. Personal Goals may also be selected to show alignment to planned professional learning experiences.
Establish Mentoring Plans and Team Learning Plans to record goals and action items for the year, and then track progress and hours with Log forms. Mentoring and Team Learning (PLC) Plans can capture intents for assessing and addressing needs, plans for how and when meetings will occur, and expected outcomes of the interactions.
Log forms capture the kinds of conversations that took place, key outcomes, next steps, and the alignment of the interactions to district or building goals, as well as the number of contact hours and any follow-up plans.
