What’s a Personal Learning Action Plan?
1 min read
A Personal Learning Action Plan is a mutually beneficial agreement between a learner and their immediate supervisor. It describes how new skills and knowledge, gained during a learning activity, will be practiced and embedded in the workplace.
It's a tool that helps the learner and their supervisor to plan for and reflect on a learning activity. It sets out a plan for how learning will be reinforced back in the workplace.
No two Personal Learning Action Plans will be the same. Each Plan is unique, reflecting the individual needs and learning objectives of the learner.
