Blog Follow-Up: Be sure to post a reflection on the lessons learned from developing your Professional Development Plan to your blog, and read and comment on at least two other students’ PDP reflections.

I feel that developing a three year professional development plan was a useful assignment. This made me stop and think about the main things I needed to improve on as well as what my goals are for the next few years.  As issues arise I am sure that goals with change and items will be added to the plan. All leaders need to be lifelong learners as well as set goals for how they can improve their leadership.  Most of this improvement will be by reflecting on how issues were handled. It is a great habit to start and one should ask themselves questions on how the issues was handled, what could have been done better, and how things could be handled differently. This is almost like a strategic plan for an individual. Ask yourself where do you want to be in five years?  Then you plan your goals and professional development plan according to your future goals.
