Communication Plan Template - Professional Development Assignment

This assignment presents a communication plan template created by a student, Kimberly McDowell, for a professional development course. The plan begins with an assessment of the student's communication style, identifying her as a Promoter/Socializer with characteristics such as being an entertainer, valuing helping others, and being open and optimistic. It includes contact information, short-term goals like managing coursework and applying classroom management techniques, and long-term goals such as becoming a mentor teacher. The plan also highlights professional strengths in building relationships and interacting positively with children, along with areas needing support, such as classroom management and differentiated instruction. Finally, a bibliography of related research is included.
