Teacher Growth Program

The Alabama Teacher Growth Program (ATGP) promotes continuous monitoring of the teachers’ ability to support the implementation of Alabama Core Teaching Standards (ACTS), improve instructional practices, seek professional supports, and increase student performance. The ATGP logo encompasses these foundational goals.  The ATGP ensures that educators work in collaboration with school administrators to determine areas of strength and areas of growth. The ATGP assists educators in goal setting, observations and feedback, and reflective discussions that ultimately improves teaching practices. The ATGP components include a Self-Assessment, the ATOT, a Professional Learning Plan (PLP), and a Professional Practice Diagnostic (optional). Together these tools ensure there are numerous opportunities to provide effective feedback to educators.
