Caree Development Plans
After 13yrs in my feild I was feeling burnt out, I was NOT excited about my career anymore. When a teaching opportunity opened up, it revitalized my passion for what I do. As a new faculty member this quarter, I was at a loss when asked to write down items for a career development plan. I really had no idea how to go about it short of the required CE for my field. Now I have lots of ideas for professional development, this 1st module has been a real eye opener in helping me to understand this concept. I know my renewed enthusiasm will reflect in the classroom too!
This is a must for all instructors. Get your students involved early in their learning by getting then to focus on a career development plan. It is a great motivator tool.
Hi Tonia,
This is so great to hear. Teaching can do that for folks that get burned out while in the field itself. You now have a chance to share your career expertise with students so you are influencing and preparing the next generation of professionals in your field. This is a great legacy to have. Keep up your professional development and enjoy the new role you have in the lives of your students.
