Module 8 Assignment #1 Professional Development Plan (10/19-10/25)

Leave a reply

After exploring career opportunities available in the field of early childhood education, it is  time to think about your goals beyond ECE 110-Seminar.  A Professional Development Plan (PDP) is an outline of your career objectives, strengths, areas where you can continue to grow, and the steps you plan to take to reach your goals.  A PDP is an evolving document — it changes as  you travel on your career path.  However, completing a PDP is the first step in achieving your future career aspirations!

Please complete this Professional Development Plan.  You can email it to me or post it on Blackboard for ECE 110-Seminar (in the Assignments menu on the left, under “Professional Development Plan).
