A Professional Development Plan (PDP) allows us to analyze and reflect on our current state, clarify where we wish to go, and define specific action steps to take in that direction. In this course each of you will draft your own Plan.
Why: The process of self-reflection and goal setting in written form helps us build clarity and intentionality. This helps us to achieve our goals.
How: We will work on this activity progressively through both individual homework assignments and in-class activities that deepen your individual exploration.
This plan has three parts that form individual assignments:
Part A: Self-Reflection and Analysis -- due in Class 3
Part B: Feedback from External Sources -- due in Class 5*
Part C: SMART Goals and Next Steps -- due in Class 8
