ABSTRACT

The fi rst step is to develop a plan for individual improvement and this plan should be based on a diagnosis of your strengths and improvement needs. There are many tools available to assist you with this diagnosis. You should also incorporate feedback you’ve received from mentors and coaches into the development of this plan. Once your development plan is complete, you must link the realities of the internship venue to your plan. Too often, we see development plans that aren’t connected to the school improvement plan. In order to provide you the meaningful developmental experiences, your plan must align with the school improvement plan.
