This goal ties in with many of the Framework for Teaching Domains.   The planning and preparation domain directly relate to the demonstration of  knowledge of students as well as setting up instructional outcomes.  PLP’s are a personalized - so very individualized.  One of the goals of the PLP will be to help students gain a better understanding of themselves as learners, I will also help guide them through this and will also gain a better understanding of who they are as individuals.  Classroom environment is also an area that will be addressed.  Students will work together as well as on their own to develop and reflect on their goals.  It will be important to establish an environment of respect and rapport.  The domain of Instruction is addressed through communicating with students and engaging in student learning.
