This document outlines the goals and process of personal development planning (PDP). PDP aims to help students become more effective, independent, and self-directed learners by getting them to reflect on their learning and how it applies more broadly, improve their study and career skills, articulate personal goals, and encourage lifelong learning. Key aspects of PDP include reflection on what was done and learned, experimenting with new approaches, learning new things each day, learning from others, and relating work experiences to learning.
