Explanation: I have a better understanding of continuing professional development due to CIPD courses and but I need to learn further about the wide variety of methods that can be used as mentioned in Maddox-Daines (2023). I understand that it is important to use both planned and reflective learning that spans the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual domains in order to achieve success recognized in the reading (Taylor, 2021). This has helped me to realize the importance of taking the time to think about the different aspects of development as stated in McCormick (2023) and how it can benefit my career. |
| Development objectives | I need to:
1. Develop and maintain a consistent personal practice for reflection, mindfulness and self-care to support professional and personal growth. 2. Acquire new knowledge and skills to further professional development goals through online courses, seminars, and workshops. 3. Build and maintain relationships with colleagues and peers to share best practices and collaborate on professional development initiatives. |
| Importance to me | Essential because continuing professional development is essential for staying up to date with current industry trends and ensuring professional growth. It helps to enhance knowledge, build skills and refine expertise, as well as providing opportunities for reflection and evaluation. |
| Learning plan (with dates) | 1. Read about all CPD elements and activities and this should include specific goals, objectives, and timelines for completing each activity. [July 2022]
2. Reflect on the activities and experiences encountered as part of CPD that includes a review of the skills, knowledge, and attitudes acquired during the learning process, and how these can be applied in the future. [December 2022] 3. Research and conduct further reading on relevant materials, articles, and books that help to deepen understanding of the CPD elements and activities. [October-December 2022] |
| Potential ways to evaluate competence | 1. Self-evaluate own competence in continuing professional development and the wide variety of methods. Reflect on own experiences and abilities and rate on a scale.
2. Ask mentors, colleagues, and peers to provide feedback on the competence in continuing professional development and the wide variety of methods through informal discussions. 3. Have an experienced professional observe my ability to use the various methods of continuing professional development. |
| Possible threats | 1. Lack of Time: I have very busy schedules and find it difficult to keep up with continuing professional development.
2. Cost: The cost of attending seminars, conferences, and educational programs can be prohibitive. |
