Beginning-of-Year Resources for Teachers

LEAP is intended to be a continuous process that supports teachers in setting professional growth goals, meeting for progress checks midway through the year and having strong end-of-year conversations about final ratings. At the beginning of each school year, teachers and school leaders should collaborate to set goals that focus on the teacher’s areas of needed growth.
