DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
What overarching principles should guide professional development & training at ARC? All Chairperson Alisa Shubb posed the question, "What do we want as themes or big ideas?" Suggestions were to include ARC's values from our mission, vision and values statements, use ARC's Strategic Goals, align with ARC's Equity Plan's seven categories using three phases of foundation, action, and institutionalize to produce a short-term and long-term plan.
How should the Professional Development Plan be structured? - what topics should be in the table of contents? -how can the plan address both long term and short term goals? -how can the plan structure reflect all stakeholder group perspectives (eg all employees) -how should we frame PD concepts (goals, actions, focus areas, competencies, etc)? All Discussion around themes included competencies, job descriptions, hard and soft skills, and continuing education. There was an interest in differentiating between onboarding and ongoing training.
ITEMS FOR FUTURE CONSIDERATION:
