My Development Plan

Overview

The Development Plan is an action plan for a student to improve their proficiency in assigned competencies.  Three types of items may be assigned on a development plan.

• Tasks
  Tasks are activities to be performed by a certain target date.
  
• Resources
  Resources are sources of information that can be assigned by an Assessor to a student.  Examples of common resources include books, mentors, subject matter experts and web sites.
  
• Courses
  Course may include both self-study and instructor-led classes for the student to complete.

Groups

Each group is displayed as a horizontal bar going across the page.  The name of the group is shown on the left side of the bar, along with an arrow.  You can expand a group by clicking anywhere in the horizontal bar.  Only one group may be open (expanded) at a time.

To change the groups on the page first select a grouping from the "Group" drop down list.  Then click the Apply button.

Completing Development Plan Items

For each item in the Development Plan, the second column of the grid shows a green arrow ().  Click the green arrow to view more information about the item and to see how to complete the item.

Tasks

The Assessor Qualified individuals who evaluate whether a student has demonstrated competence to a designated Proficiency Level who assigned the task may or may not allow the task to be marked "complete" by the student.  If you are the assessor, or if you are the student and the assessor allows students to mark the task complete, you can click the Credit button from Task page.  

Resources

The Assessor Qualified individuals who evaluate whether a student has demonstrated competence to a designated Proficiency Level who assigned the resource may or may not allow the resource to be marked "complete" by the student.  If you are the assessor, or if you are the student and the assessor allows students to mark the resource complete, you can click the Credit button from Resource page.

Courses

Courses require completing the course in order to have it marked as complete on the Development Plan.  Depending on the type of course (self-study vs. instructor-led) and whether the student already has the course "in-progress", the green arrow () will automatically take the student to the correct place in Learner to proceed with course completion.

Courses must be completed after the "assignment date" on the Development Plan in order to show credit on the Development Plan.  If the student previously complete the course prior to the assignment date, that completion does not count toward the completion of the development plan.
