Results

As part of an ongoing feedback process, the I-Plan Fellows have sent out surveys to the 370 current I-Planners to evaluate the impact of the program. They are awaiting data analysis before they can report the results, although anecdotal feedback from I-Planners like Anna Ledoux suggests that educators find it an excellent method of re-certification. Ledoux used to regard professional development as a drain on her resources, but she reports that completing her re-certification through the I-Plan provides her with "more time to be involved with my students, in my school, and in activities that are related to what I do in the classroom because I not only receive credit for these activities, but I also receive validation for their importance." We will report soon on how well the quantitative and qualitative data from the surveys support this feedback.
