Professional Development Plan
4.2 Professional development
Candidates plan for ongoing professional growth. Description
This is a professional development plan I created in my SLM 501 Administration class. The purpose was to analyze my leadership style and create a plan to take charge of my learning. I wrote objectives for myself and put together a bibliography of resources to help me accomplish my plan. Analysis The most beneficial piece of this product was the in-depth analysis of my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. In addition, my professional development plan was very detailed and had a lot of great resources for me as a media specialist. I learned that there are an amazing number of resources available online and in print for media specialists. The drawback was that there was no timeline of how to accomplish the objectives I set out for myself. As a result, I did not utilize this development plan the way I had hoped. Reflection I really liked my professional development plan when I created it. I tried to find as many professional resources as I could, to help me learn and grow as a new librarian. However, I did not have a way to accomplish my plan or a mentor to work with me on my development. Looking ahead, I need to seek out fellow librarians and make connections to motivate me to move forward with my professional development. It will also help to create a timeline, so I have an action plan of tasks that are achievable. |
