Week 5 - Instructor Guidance

Now What?

Week Five delves into what comes next. You now have a job but that doesn’t mean you stop learning! Take the time to reflect on what you have learned in this course and how you can incorporate this learning into your career. Then reflect on what you can do going forward to continue to better your professional self.

This week, you will create a professional development plan to keep you up to date in your field of study. You will use your professional standards (found in Week Four) to help guide you in your choices. Have fun with this one! You no longer are being told which class you need to take, instead you get to decide! Choose a conference that you know you will enjoy – the options are endless! (Don’t forget about virtual opportunities as well.) Choose a class you want to take - for you! Remember, these are your choices, enjoy!

Here’s a great list of conferences to get you started:
