Paper

The Professional Development Plan (PDP) helps you to identify how the degree program fits into your overall academic and professional goals. Be sure to indicate in your PDP when you will complete your residencies. In thinking about residencies, it is important to note that attending one early on in your program can be beneficial in helping you make connections with other students, faculty, and understand program requirements.
The PDP is a required activity in your counseling program. This assignment is part 1 of a 3 part licensing and credentialing activity that you will complete throughout your program. The completion of this assignment is essential for your later completion of parts 2 and 3 and essential to your professional development.
To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the Professional Development Plan template (PDP), Statement of Counseling Identity in the Learning Resources, the Field Experience website, and the Academic Residencies website for this week; you will also need information from state licensure boards to complete this week’s assignment. Do not contact the licensure office for this information..
  • Reflect on your own personal experiences, professional training and development, self-awareness, and your future as a clinical mental health counselor in preparation for writing your Professional Development Plan.

The annotated bibliography will be double spaced in a reasonable font (10-12 point) and include citations and references in APA style. References must be academically credible (i.e., peer reviewed) and examine either theoretical issues or report empirical data following a common theme (i.e., examining one psychological phenomenon with relevance to the modern world). The annotated bibliography should show understanding and thoughtful reflection on a topic that speaks to the mission and objectives of the course. Further, annotated bibliographies will be graded on the basis of content, clarity, and overall quality of work. Students will be assessed in terms of their technology assignments, with an appropriate grading scheme  for example, some combination of database experience and APA formatting.   Please click on the following link for numerous examples of APA-style annotated bibliographies: Writing Center – Annotated Bibliography.  The basic purpose is to cite the source and provide a brief summary written in a clear and concise manner.   Make sure that you have 5 peer-reviewed references related to psychological phenomenon (therefore 5-10 summaries).  When writing your annotated bibliography consider the following questions:   1) What is the purpose of the article? This is the hypothesis or the testable prediction.  2) What is the most important information used to support the arguments (assertions)? This would be found in the results of the study. Just give the basic findings in your own words. Do not worry if you do not understand the stats or design; your job is come up with the “gist” of the findings.  3) What is the conclusion? In other words, was the hypothesis supported or not?  4) What are the logical implications of the results of the study?  This is sometimes called the “significance” of the study.
