Introduction
As a professional teacher we must make a plan that we go through each lesson, we
set the time and the activities and we put in consider that we might face some
issues, so I follow PDP plan that help the teacher to achieve her goals.

This plan summarizes my goals that helps me in developing my teaching throughout

my educational career, to observe myself and to see my progression. PDP helped me
to identify my skills, my strength and weaknesses that should be improved. The main
3 goals that I had noticed while I was teaching are.

1. Time management

2. Classroom management

3. Integrating tools “technology”

Description justification/ Theories.

Goal 1 – Time management Time management: Effective time management

Implementing & Managing
Learning, this will be done
every day using computer
and internet.
After implementation:
Student were waiting for
their names while its
randomly chosen and
whenever they hear
cleanup song, they clean
their center and move to
the next station. This
technique helped in
improving the quality of
the class, it was smooth,
and everyone knows what
I struggled in the beginning
with the student, some of
them finished early
because of their levels, but
I put in my mind for sure
they will get another
activity, but later, I
understand student’s levels
and how affective my
activities are. There are
some centers that we go
through daily like writing
center, it takes an
appropriate time, so I use
coloring and writing
activities for kg 2 student.
they need something
addition in their center,
allows students to
complete more in less time,
because their attention is
focused and they are not
wasting time on
distractions, like other play
centers or bathroom.
Efficient use of time also
reduces stress that student
create in the classroom and
affects their classmates
Working as a teacher
requires excellent time
management skills to
achieve our goals of the
lesson. Making a schedule
of timing can help to

to do.
Evidence:
I used clean up song here
and the student pack up
their tools and set on the
carpet, which saves a lot of
time.
but it must be funny like
drawing or coloring and
creating.
ACTION GOAL 1: Use
affective fun strategy so
the student feels happy
while doing it. I used
ClassDojo and cleanup song.
5
achieve my goals faster and
to have a successful
learning for the student.
(Cyril Northcote Parkinson
1955) this theorist helped
me to understand how I
could manage my time and
how are the student take
time to be under a routine.
“Giving yourself less time
to do something will lead
to faster completion”. I
used his theory in routine
the centers which was take
time from me to lead the
student and they got
confused, but after a while
of training they understand
what I want them to do just
when I play clean up song,
it saved the class time and
the student are not moving
randomly or choosing their
centers by their own.
However, I used more
strategies to save the time
like ClassDojo, which is fun
and affective program in
my opinion.
- Choosing the student
to answer randomly
is one of the things
including the
program, which
saves a lot of time
and less noises, the
student usually says
“miss pick me” but
with the program
they set behaviorally
waiting for their
tern.

Goal 2 – classroom
management
Implementing & Managing
Learning, this will be done
whenever the student
misbehavior, and I will use
the behavior chart
After Implementation:
I owned student confident,
they feel there is a link
between me and them,
more than being a teacher I
became a friend, and they
feel free to talk and that
was my goal from the
beginning, although when
they behave negatively,
they can notice that I feel
uncomfortable and then
they change their behavior.
EVIDENCE:
Classroom management:
I have been in 3 different
classes and each class needs
a good role of teacher and
a good rule to follow, to
have a successful class.
Each class I had some
behavior issue from the
student, who are moving
around or go to bathroom
just to waste time and
some of them touch their
friend to disturb them.
ACTION GOAL2: Use
affective fun strategy so

- In addition, the
program has a timer,
so I use it for the
center’s, each
rotation has 20
minute to work. So,
it helps me as a first
to manage the class
time and it help the
student to stay on
their places.
Classroom management
refers to a wide verity of
skills and techniques that
teachers use to keep
student organized and
focused.
Effective classroom
management requires
awareness, patience, good
timing, building trust to
own the student and to
make them follow my rules
affectively. so, I followed
the 3c’s strategy
connection, consistency,
and compassion.
Connection is when the
teacher builds a link with
the student, so they want
to behave better, or
building a good connection
with their surrounding like
their parents or their
favorite teacher in the
school. This could manage
their good behavior and
reduce their negativity.
I go through the rules every
class, so they are notice
with the consequences if
they break them.
Goal 3 – integrating
technology
Implementing & managing
learning; this will be done
almost each class; each day
will be chosen another 2
students so for the whole
the student feels happy
while doing it. I used
ClassDojo and cleanup song.
Integrating tools:
Some of the teachers has
limit resources and some
are stick to the traditional
education. Integrating
technology gives more
opportunity to explore and
learn new things, it is a
good technique to use for
those children who doesn’t
7
I used consistency in using
my voice, it is different
when I became mad, so
they manage their behavior
very fast. Or I might use
consistency in how much
time I use to build
connection to each student,
so I gain their trust and
they become to love my
class and wait for it instead
of waiting to go home.
Compassion is when I as a
teachers notice a mistake
so I must comment
immediately and show the
good behavior instead, for
example when I had a
student who go to
bathroom and play with
water, I played a video of
how to save the water and I
comment on his behavior
without saying his name so
he feels unsecure but all of
the student got the idea of
not playing with water and
setting in class means that
student are strong on
becoming a good person.
This is a good teacher are
they teaches
Early childhood educators
can use technology in a
purposeful way, much like
they do in other learning
materials, such as art
supplies, blocks or books.
Technology allows teachers
the ability to record, save
and the most important is
“share” otherwise with the

week we cover most of the
students.
After implementation
I noticed student get
excited and answer as much
of the questions which
encourage their learning
and develops their
technology literacy.
Evidence
like to set all day on their
places, they got busy in
technology but in the range
of teaching the lesson
“outcome”.
Action goal: using different
resources like PowerPoints
with picture sound,
activities, and use
technology computer as a
main center to improve
student learning and add
excitement to the class.
students or parents and
sometimes with the school
faculty.
Technology facilitates a lot
of services; activities or
tracking student and
teachers, also it helps with
data gathering and analysis.
Using technology in the
class is one of the tools that
student must be familiar
with which supports their
learning.

The class has 3 computers; Recording to Vygotsky’s

1 for the teacher which is theory revolves around the
the main computer to show idea that social interaction

another 2 for the student to allows the learner to build

activity. interaction either with their
family or with their
classmates during the
lesson.

Conclusion:
This PDP identified three of my personal goals, explaining my motivation for achieving
my aims. I must identify the steps that I will take, this pdp determines how it will
help me to accomplish the stated goals. It shows my strength in some areas and my
weakness.
