The Lifelong Learning Plan It is a human nature to desire progress. According to Victor Lipman of Forbes, the possibility for “career advancement is an especially powerful job motivator. Writing a plan on how you want to progress in your career will give you a clear path on how you can grow in your chosen life and career. For you to grow and become successful in your own chosen life and career path you need to develop a plan for your advancement. Lifelong Learning Plan is a written plan that will serve as a road map to your voluntary, ongoing and self-motivated pursuit of development for either personal or professional growth. You need to set goals for your improvement, set time frames to accomplish these goals and identify resources and key persons that can help you achieve these goals.

The Three Aspects of Your Lifelong Learning Plan The career aspect will give you a structure on career advancement that will guide you on the things that you need to do and to go where you want to go in your career, like your transition from entry-level position to managerial position. In the social aspect of your LLP, you will be guided on how to establish social linkages in your career and expand your network. While in the personal aspect, you will identify key areas for personal growth and will make you prepared for important transitions in life, like setting a plan to marry and have your own family. This is based on the notion that your personal life may affect your career and vice-versa. Process Questions: 1. What are the different lifelong learning activities that you can undergo to continuously grow in your chosen career and life?

2. Why do you think it is necessary to conduct Career Gap Analysis in creating your Lifelong Learning Plan?

3. What is Lifelong Learning Plan? How can it help you as a graduating student?

Activity 2: MY LIFELONG LEARNING PLAN Directions: Though there is no prescribed procedure in creating a Lifelong Learning Plan, the following are the suggested steps that one can undertake to come up with an effective career progression plan: 1. Start by identifying your areas of improvement After being employed or hired in your desired profession or vocation, you can still advance in that career and aspire to reach a higher status. The initial step is to identify areas of improvement in knowledge, skills, competencies, and values that you need to

prioritize in achieving your career goals. This can be done through a Career Gap Analysis, wherein you will compare your current situation to your career goals, then describe what you need to accomplish in order to achieve them. Below is how you should accomplish your Gap Analysis: Life and Career Aspects Goal Career/Position/Designation (Refer to Module 4 Worksheet)

No man is an island, the cliché goes. To achieve your career goals, you need key persons that can help you accomplish your objectives for personal and career development. Your family, friends, colleagues, mentors or coaches, department heads, supervisors, even spiritual or financial advisers can actually be part of the key persons involved in your career development. Career advancement is also an investment, you need to allot financial or materials resources to accomplish doable tasks that will help you achieve your set objectives. Your LLP should be time bound, setting time frame for each objective to accomplish will somehow help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals on time. Mode of verification is an actual evidence of your outcome after doing a particular lifelong learning activity.

Hinahangaan ka ng iyong mga kamag-aral at guro, dahil sa iyong husay sa pakikipagtalastasan. Gayunman, kung may isang bagay na dapat mo pang paunlarin, ito ay ang iyong pag-sasaayos ng mga gawain at time management. Sana, ngayon ay isa ka ng Master Teacher sa isang pampublikong paaralan, na gumagabay sa mga mag-aaral ng ika-21 siglo gamit ang mga makabago at epektibong pamamaraan ng pagtuturo. Alam ko na mahal mo ang propesyong ito, dahil naniniwala ka na mahalaga ang gampanin ng guro sa paghubog sa mga kabataan, upang sila ay magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan. Sumasaiyo, Gio Alonzo 12-HUMSS-A
