Professional Development Plan

Professional development involves outlining your skills and interests that will help you
plan ahead to achieve your desired goals. Writing down your development plan will act as a
reminder rather than just having it in your head thus making it easier to refer and see where you
are as a person. The professional development plan will further develop the goals. There will be
examination of each goal separately in this case showing a statement of the goal, explanation of
motivation, description of the steps to be taken, and finally providing a timeline for the
completion of the goal.
I have both general and specific goals. Goal setting is important both for my education
and career. The attribute of goals that make them effective is that outcomes are measurable.

is my goal to understand issues to do with my field of education effectively. I have both short
term and long term goals that this professional development plan will make possible.
These goals will be the foundation of the professional development plan. One goal is to
get a better job, the second goal is to publish something in my field of study and a third goal is to
start sharing knowledge by teaching. For me to achieve all these goals I will have to complete

achievable if I capitalize on my strengths and deal with the existing challenges. I have very clear
reasons why I intend to do the doctoral degree. I intend to make great professional steps by
getting a good job. My definition of a good job in this case is one that will need my
qualifications and will be sufficiently rewarding. The rewards in this case are not necessarily
financial since I also want to do humanitarian work.

The goal to get into my career of choice that involves leadership is a crucial driving force. I also
intend to do a lot of humanitarian work as part of my career. Bartley (2013) says, “Knowing
‘who you are’ and operating ‘as you are’ are significant aspects of self that determine the nature
