Annual Learning Plan (ALP)




The purpose of the Annual Learning Plan (ALP) is to provide a meaningful vehicle to support
experienced teachers professional learning and growth in the evaluation year and for the intervening
years between appraisals. The ALP is teacher authored and directed, and is developed in a consultative
and collaborative manner with the principal.
ALP Requirements

Experienced teachers are required to have an ALP each year that includes their professional growth
goals, as well as their proposed action plan with timelines for achieving those goals.
Teachers who move from the new teachers appraisal process to the experienced teachers
appraisal process must develop an ALP in their first year as an experienced teacher.
Each year, teachers are required to consult with their principal to review and update, as necessary,
their ALP. This review and update must take into account the teachers learning and growth over the
year, as well as the professional growth goals and strategies recommended through the summative
report of the teachers most recent performance appraisal.
In an evaluation year, teachers must review and update their ALP in a meeting with their principal as
part of the performance appraisal process. The pre-observation and post observation meetings
provide opportunities for this review and update to take place.
In the non-evaluation years, a meeting is not required but is recommended. If at any time during
these years the teacher or principal requests a meeting to discuss the ALP, then a meeting shall
take place.
The teacher and the principal must both sign the teachers ALP each year and retain a copy for their
records. Under certain circumstances, the duties of the principal as outlined above may be
delegated to a vice-principal in the same school or to an appropriate supervisory officer (refer to
section 6, Scheduling Requirements).

Growth Goals and Strategies

The growth goals and strategies identified by the teacher should be relevant to his or her
professional needs and focus on improving his or her teaching practice and student learning.
Growth-oriented professional dialogue between the teacher and principal can help identify the
growth goals and strategies for the teachers continuous learning and development to include in his
or her ALP.
Parent and student input can also help inform the teachers ongoing professional learning and
teaching practice.
