Personal Development Planning (PDP)
Personal Development Planning will be used to enhance student ability to reflect upon their own learning within and across modules. The process includes self-reflection, recording, target setting, action planning, and monitoring. It will be formally introduced to students as part of module TFA1440 Personal Development 1 and will underpin the subsequent Modules TIA1440 Personal Development 2 and THA1440 Personal Development 3
It is embedded within the course so that students are asked to think about their own work and the work of colleagues and to reflect upon feedback at tutorials, reviews/discussions and so on. In this way each student will be asked to consider how they might plan their personal development more effectively
 Students will keep a personal development file which will include relevant material stored in a safe and organised fashion.  The PDP file will be discussed with personal tutors at key points throughout the year. Prior to each of these discussions student will be asked to complete a pro forma that allows for specific reflection on progress in each module.
