What are goals and how are they determined?

During the application process, you will be asked to describe your goals for the next three year cycle. You determine these goals by evaluating areas you want to focus on with your future professional development. Your goals should align with the:

NH Department of Education Professional Development Master Plan

You will need one goal for each of your endorsements and one goal for your professional education (license requirements). You can have as many goals as you wish to work on for your next cycle.

Helpful Hint: Have your goals for your next renewal cycle already typed so you can copy/paste them into the boxes. The EIS system can time out and does not save unsubmitted goals.

In the Goal boxes you will be asked:
- What are your goals for satisfying the requirements for 30 continuing education units for each endorsement area you are certified in and how do you anticipate these activities could affect student learning?
- What are your goals for satisfying the requirement for 45 hours aligned with the Ed. 505.03 and how do you anticipate these activities could affect student learning?
- Describe how your individual plan is linked to the NH Department of Education Professional Development Master Plan. (Simply keep in mind how your activities will increase your knowledge, further develop pedagogy and improve your effectiveness. A few sentences will be sufficient.)
