RUNNING HEAD: Looking Forward 2

Abstract

The scope of this paper is to outline a Professional Development plan covering the next 5

years, including artifacts that contribute to growing as a teacher/coach. I will present current and

potential training that I have or shall undergo which contribute to developing as a professional

educator and relate to how they contribute to the process.

Domain F: Developing as a Professional Educator

As times change, so must education. Teachers and coaches should have an intrinsic

motivation to want to get better in their craft. Those teachers and coaches that do actively

participate in trainings and clinics can stay relevant to the 21st century student. As a high school

PE/Weight training teacher and varsity football/track coach I have a strong work ethic toward

improving in these areas. The artifacts chosen are a map of where I have had training and plan on

training in the future.

My 5 year plan is rather hectic in that I have a desire to move multiple times within the

next 5 years. In order to make sense of this I must outline the last decade of activity. I restarted

my educational path in the summer of 2009, at 30 years old, after working as a

conductor/engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad for 5 years before I became a victim of the

Great Recession. I also began coaching football at Mt. San Jacinto College in 2010 and had only

planned to coach college football at a University level after obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in

August of 2014. I called a friend whom I coached with at Mt. San Jacinto College for a reference

and he offered me a coaching job at my current high school where I have been since 2015; I

subbed for 2 years then got hired as an Intern at the start of the 2017-18 school year. Therefore,

after I receive my credential and Master’s Degree I plan on moving and getting a Head Coaching

position at the end of the upcoming football season. Once my daughter has graduated high

school, which will be in 3 years, I have no problems moving and attempting to coach college

football somewhere else. As a former Marine, I have no problems with moving frequently and

my family is on board; I am finally at the end of a very long journey and it may be a whirlwind.

My artifacts are a combination of training in coaching and teaching. The Glazier Clinic

logo and the LA84 logo are coaching clinics that I have attended for multiple years. Glazier

Clinics are free, large football coaching clinics where coaches from all over the country, at the

high school and college level, speak and teach other coaches in a stress free environment. I

attend the Costa Mesa Glazier Clinic but really want to go the one in Las Vegas; different venues

have different speakers. I was able to listen to Mario Cristobal last year (he is the current

University of Oregon Head Coach and I am a huge Duck fan). The LA84 logo is a clinic for

track and field as I also coach sprinters in the spring. I began coaching track for further speed

development for our football athletes but have become a bigger fan of the sport and enjoy most

aspects; weekend track meets can sometimes be inconvenient. These are the two clinics I make

sure to attend every year, I am always viewing clinics online as there are several sites dedicated

to coaching (Glazier Clinics Online has a huge cache of information in recorded sessions.

The NAPEC logo is a California Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation,

and Dance event for the 48th National Adapted Physical Education Conference being held on

November 7th of 2019. As a PE/Weight training instructor I am also responsible for training all

students and need better preparation in making my program more adaptive. It should be

important to receive this type of training as full inclusion is the normal practice and teachers

must be prepared for every student.

As a weight training teacher and future head football coach I need to get my USA

weightlifting certification. There are 2 levels to obtain and cost $500 each so I must have enough

available capital to obtain the certification. Weight training is essential in both football and track

to improve performance enough to be successful. Getting faster is a matter of improving quick

twitch muscle that leads to a powerful athlete capable of faster and longer strides. Obtaining a

USA weight training certification is a very helpful tool to have in my bag.

Lastly is the American Red Cross symbol which represents the Lifeguard training that

our entire PE department will have to undergo this summer as we have just opened a brand new

pool this spring. Swimming will be incorporated into our PE curriculum this fall and we should

have aquatic sports starting the 2020-21 school year. I had to go through swim training during

my time in the Marine Corps and am comfortable in the water.
