While these times were challenging, this is when I experienced the greatest amount of professional growth. For example, about 5 years ago, I was […]
My Professional Development Plan In order to be successful, you must have a plan; Benjamin Franklin put it best by saying “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail” (Bouffard, 2013). While it may seem somewhat rudimentary to go through the exercise of building a detailed Professional Development Plan (PDP), this is the […]
