What should be in a professional development plan

For the purposes of our class I believe that a professional development plan should include multiple elements. One of those being a skills and values assessment. This will allow us to get a better idea of what we can offer to future employers. Another element to consider would be a mission statement that each of us live by either professionally or everyday. Whichever will help us to remember who we are and what we are trying to achieve  as I think all of us can forget that every once in a while. Goals to help us have something to strive for would be a rather beneficial addition. Finally our strategy to stay on the path with our lifelong journey.

I did not finish all the worksheets associated with this pdf but what I did seemed to be quite helpful.
