A Definitive Case for Employee Professional Development
A7: My Personal Development Plan
Mission: To prepare myself as a highly skilled professional to assume a role and position in teaching, research, educational leadership, or human development.
Formal education.
As a Master’s degree student of Instructional Design and Technology Performance Improvement, I plan to continue my education forward after graduation to include the online certificate in the same field. I had previously earned eighteen semester graduate hours in educational leadership before entering the Walden program for instructional design and technology. My personal development plan includes moving home to Chicago, IL next year so I can enroll in the Principalship Program at Chicago Public Schools. Some of the criteria I need to development as a principal are as follows:

My personal development plan includes moving home to Chicago, IL next year so I can enroll in the Principalship Program at Chicago Public Schools. Some of the criteria I need to development as a principal are as follows:
- Develop and articulate belief system through voice and actions
- Engage and develop faculty
- Assess the quality of classroom instruction
- Facilitate and motivate change
- Balance management
I have gained most of the benchmarks necessary for the principalship as a Walden University, Saint Mary’s University, Governors State and Chicago State University student/graduate. Therefore, I will not try to attempt to attend a formal learning institution outside of getting my online teaching credits. According to Noe, 2010, Formal Education include on-site and off-site programs. My future goal is to become an excellent educator/trainer/instructional designer to help others do well.
I will become a member of American Society of Training and Development in about a month from now. After that, I will obtain my Performance Improvement Certification with their assistance. I took the practice test and noticed everything I learned at Walden University is on that test. Hence, I do not see any problems with that.
Job experiences.
As for job experiences, I have done just about everything: Farming, sales clerk, file clerk, typist, proofreader, training specialist, detention specialist, residential counselor, home healthcare, K-12 teacher and English coordinator. Now, I want to move to help others develop themselves in careers of their choice with the credentials I have obtain via my education and development on the job as well as through formal education.
According to Noe, 2010, “Most employee development occurs through job experiences; job experiences refer to relationships, problems, demands, tasks, or other features that employees face in their jobs” (p. 364). I have attended many professional development workshops under every imaginable topic related to education, detention, and counseling; I hope that trend continues because life is a constant change and technology definitely change all the time. I will apply all my training, development, and experiences to wherever opportunities lead me. I am a people person so interpersonal relationships, I want to consistently change according to new environment I encounter. I am ready to transfer my training to a job that fulfills my mission.

Interpersonal Relationships.
Noe 2010 says, “Employee can also develop skills and increase their knowledge about the company and its customers by interacting with a more experienced organizational member;” mentoring and coaching are two types of interpersonal relationships used to develop employees” (p. 371). I hope to find a mentor that will help me understand the new culture of CPS or Citywide Colleges of Chicago.
