Dear Alan and others
Thank you for your contribution. I fully endorse what Alan has said
about PDP at University of Gloucestershire. PDP should run throughout a
student's programme (undergrad. and postgrad). At UoG we introduce PDP
to all Level I undergraduate students. Currently all departments have
their own PDP delivery plans illustrating how PDP is 'provided' and
supported in both taught modules and other activities.
Hope this helps.

Hi Rae
We believe that PDP needs to be seen as a thread or spine that continues
throughout the students' HE programme and beyond into Continuing
Professional Development (CPD). Students need to see the purpose of
PDP. The What's In It For Me (WIIFM) factor is essential to get across,
otherwise students will not engage with it and why should they, with all
the other assessment demands being made on them?
On the Social Work programme we stress the importance of PDP and CPD to
students from the outset and back this up by assessing PDP activity
throughout the three year degree programme. In the first year we run a
Learning and Personal Development module for all level one students
where they are expected to think about their learning journeys to date
and identify where they wish to go with their learning. They reflect
upon this and write goals for their first year of study. We have adopted
pebblePAD as our e portfolio system for recording this work. In their
second and third years they undertake assessed practice and again
pebblePAD is used to record their achievements and reflections. One of
their final modules at Level 3 is a Professional Identity module where
students reflect upon their learning journeys and complete CVs to
prepare them for entering the employment market.
Throughout the degree programme students have a personal tutor with whom
they share these reflections and who is involved in assessing their PDP
work.
Best wishes

Hi Rae
I am running one to one sessions during the induction week as part of
the PDP module for Computing students. This give me the opportunity to
get to know the students and from day one to be able to understand their
needs and guide them and support them throughout the year.
Also, part of the PDP module i run drop in sessions (again one to one)
to monitor the students' professional development.
I hope this helps. let me know if you would like any further info or to
discuss this any further.
Best regards
Ismini

Dear all
Can you give me some ideas on examples of good practice for student PDP
Inductions - I would like to see cases where you have linked in personal
tutoring to PDP i.e. getting students to engage in this process! - It
would be good to get some examples of good practice.
I look forward to your collective wisdom - Thanks in advance
