Checkpoints
Your plan must include supervisor checkpoints. At three times during the year, you will be required to meet with your supervisor and show them that you are on track with your action plan. You can see the dates for these checkpoints on the Important Dates section of this website.
When making your plan, you and your supervisor should also create a check-list of things that you plan to have completed by each checkpoint date. This will help keep you accountable to your own action plan.
