Personal Leadership Development Journal
The Personal Leadership Development Journal was designed to enhance the participants learning opportunities by providing guidance and consistency across all four courses. The Journal is an important part of the participant being actively involved in their own learning. It was designed to provide guidance while allowing freedom of expression, thought, and development. The guiding questions for each activity are simply just that, guides, and not specific mandates. Individual facilitators or participants may select to modify, add, or delete questions to fit the individual need. The Journal is also intended to be a life long document for the participant to use as a measure of growth and direction for their continual learning. The activities in the Journal correspond with certain presentation points in the program. While not all program activities and subjects are in the journal, the activities do reflect the major areas of learning. Additionally, certain journal activities are in support of the Personal Leadership Development Plan.
Personal Leadership Development Plan
The Personal Leadership Development Plan (LDP) is designed to serve as the capstone evaluation process for the program. It serves two specific functions. First, it meets academic need for an evaluation process. Second, it serves to provide the participant with an opportunity to demonstrate developed knowledge and competencies to a third party review and subsequently receive a certificate of achievement in Applied Leadership Development issued by Phi Theta Kappa and the CPSLEP. The LDP is an action plan. It requires that the participant do certain activities in conjunction with their participation in the CPSLEP Program. The LDP is specifically in support of the overall design that the adult be an active participant in their learning.
