Differentiated Supervision Plan

• At Hempfield, we believe that
• Professional growth occurs when school
  professionals reflect upon and discuss what is
  happening in their classrooms and schools.
• When the individual internalizes the need for
  professional growth and takes responsibility for
  its direction and implementation, instructional
  improvement and professional development will be
  meaningful and lasting.
