Professional Practice Self-Reflection Tool
The ATA Professional Practice Self-Reflection Tool allows teachers to explore the Alberta Education Professional Practice Standards to self-determine areas of strength and potential growth. This can also assist teachers and school leaders in identifying goals for their annual professional growth plans. To explore this newly redesigned self-assessment tool, visit https://abselfreflectiontool.com. For more information on professional growth planning including newly designed growth plan templates, visit this ATA web page.
The ATA is completely FREE to use and it's more than just books - there are classroom resources and STEM kits you can use with students too.
They will ship to you with return envelopes so you don't pay anything.
