Commitment to Professional Development
What is a professional development plan?
A career development plan is a documented record of an individual's career aspirations and advancement. It may be referred to as PDP, with the latter being an acronym for Continuing Professional Development. Within your plan, you must define what you would like to achieve and what you will do to develop your skills in the workplace and thus achieve your goals.
All teachers should work actively on their professional development. Taking the time to develop yourself can be a challenge, but your employer should encourage and support you to develop yourself professionally.
This type of learning will allow you to develop in a specific area that you consider challenging. It also provides you with an "opportunity to meet and discuss teaching methods and your development with other teaching professionals". (Guzder, 2019).
