3 steps to your Professional Development Plan:
1. Identifying your professional needs
The Needs Analysis is a tool provided to help you identify your development needs. This comprehensive questionnaire which maps against the programme content, will support you and your mentor in identifying what you need to do on the programme and in setting targets for your professional development. Please note that the Needs Analysis is an excel document. If you do not have excel please click here for a word version. If you experience problems please contact Salome at Trinity.
(Before completing the Needs Analysis read through the summaries of the modules. These summaries will enable you to respond in a focused way so keep them available as you work through the Needs Analysis).
2. Draft your Professional Development Plan and email it to your mentor
The Professional Development Plan (PDP) is your own personal map through the programme. It is a record of the modules you need to complete in order to support your professional development based on your Needs Analysis. There is an example of a completed PDP here.
After you have completed the Needs Analysis you should make an initial draft of the PDP document which you then email to your mentor.
3. Agree your PDP with your mentor and save it on the website
You then discuss the PDP with your mentor and mutually agree a final version to upload into the Portfolio section of the My Programme area of the website. We would expect that your PDP is completed within a month of starting the programme.
Remember that the PDP is a ‘working document’ which is owned by you and should be updated on a regular basis as you complete modules and meet your professional development targets.
