Professional Development Plan Name: Jaimie Dubuque Part 1. Insert Profiler Pro Picture.
According to this graphic, I have several weaknesses that need attention. While taking the ProfilerPRO survey, I realized that I did not feel much confidence in many of the skills and abilities the survey was assessing, and now know that there are specific goals I can set to achieve higher skills and confidence in the areas that I am lacking in. Particularly, I feel the least confident in the technology area, as well as the NETS-T standards. Based on this graphic, my strengths lie in my word processing skills, and my ability to find and utilize the appropriate communication tools for a task. Part 2. Areas of Improvement.
