Future action plan: Fostering my CPD

Starting from the insights that I gained into my subjects and my profession during my university studies in general as well as, more specifically, from the input that I received when taking part in the proPIC project, I developed some strategies to continue developing on the professional level. Some of them are long-term strategies, while others are short-term plans:

• Cultivate my language knowledge and competences (for more information see also Outlook: Learning FLs)
• Get to know more e-learning tools in order to test whether they are useful for my teaching (especially tools for digital story-telling and cutting music)
• Try some e-learning tools out in my own teaching, especially those that might have the potential to foster democratic communication and student participation. I would like to test whether the recommendations that I developed based on my research findings (see final entry in the section proPIC Research) are practicable and helpful.
• Collaborate with colleagues from the institution where I work at
• Collaborate with colleagues from other institutions
• Reflect regularly upon my teaching making use of the various reflection strategies that I got to know in the proPIC project (for more information see the section Reflective Practices) in order to find that one strategy that suits me best
• Keep informing myself about new (digital) teaching methods and being innovative in my lesson planning always considering the context that I am currently in (teaching journals, internet, probably younger colleagues, advanced vocational trainings, etc.)
