Each resource must clearly provide support for learning the specific competency.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

 

5. Provide a timeline for each competency (3 total). This is as simple as stating when you would like to complete the learning. The timeline must make sense (e.g., stating one week to achieve competency in a complex skill would not make sense).

 

6. Explain how you will self assess your knowledge growth. You will need a minimum of one for each competency (3 total). You might participate in something that shows your knowledge or volunteer for a committee. This is highly individualized based on your assessment of where you work, what you do and the opportunities available to you.

7. Write a 2-3 page paper that includes the above information. You can do this as a table, write it out as a text with the competency as a header or use a list format. All are acceptable options as long as the format makes sense and abbreviations are not used.

8. You are NOT required to provide your references in APA format. Links are acceptable as shown in the example.
