At this point in time this is my general five-year plan as I begin my career into teaching.
Throughout my career this plan may change, but right now I see myself taking this path. Since I
have been a substitute teacher for a couple years now, and have completed my student teaching I
have been able to create relationships with both teachers and principals. That being said I do plan
on showing this to a few of them, specifically two principals I am close with, and my master
teachers that I completed my student teaching with. Once I obtain a full time position I will plan
on presenting this development plan to the grade level teachers I will be working with. I will be
sure to point out the conferences that I plan to attend with hopes that they will want to come
along with me.
