This article is the last of the series outlining the constituents of the Continuing Competency Program. The previous articles included an overview of the self assessment and lord feedback components. This article will focus upon the Learning Plan and the evaluation of yearly progress

The Learning Plan

Your learning plan is where a hap of the information you have deduceed through your self assessment, equal feedback, identified strengths and learning wants come together. The learning plan should be a collection of all the areas that you have identified as needing improvement, in your self assessment tool. Recognizing that any undivided of us can only work forward two to three things at single time, it is important to be realistic when you cast your timelines for learning.

When you prepare your learning plan it is important to:

* review your complet self assessment tool based forward the SRNA standards

* identify the standards that relate to your identified learning need

* gaze at many resources and opportunities that may assist you in meeting this learning ne (consider internet, telehealth, workshops, journals, speakers, courses, colloquys video or audio tapes, or inservice staff unfolding sessions, etc.)

* consider for what cause you learn best, before you prefer the method of learning (the continuing workbook outlines learning styles)

* be realistic with your time lines and in determining your priorities

* all identified learning exigencys cannot usually take place in single in kind year, so project your plan through a few months or a not many years. Develop a short and protracted term plan

* keep a record of your schedule, start date, completion date and issue of the learning plan.

Evaluating Your Personal Continuing capableness Program

Evaluation is a continuous proces Consider what best fits with meeting your learning urgencys You may want to document for what cause the learning has changed your knowledge, skills and abilities, following the learning activity. You may cull to evaluate your year by means of reflecting on the learning and consequences then documenting your success or to what extent you changed or reinforced your practice.

The learning plan and the evaluation is your one's own It is confidential and sheltered by the SRNA Act. The simply time you may need to share or display evidence of the process is if your name is randomly pick outed for an SRNA audit. The evaluation of your program assists you in understanding where you are and where you should be in your learning plan. As you consider on the outcome, your learning plan can assist you in making further plans for your nearest learning challenge.
