What is a learning plan?Evaluate your lifestyle by using your personal wellness wheel, the environmental scan and self- assessment. You will develop 2 learning goals related to changes you wish to make in your life to promote health and wellness. A 350-500 word description of your assessment and the rationale for choosing theses specific learning goals must be submitted with learning plan. Note, learning plan includes the wellness wheel, environmental scan, self-assessment, the learning plan and your summary. A learning plan is a formal action plan to achieve a particular goal. A good learning plan is a well-articulated document with the following components.

• A set of reasonable learning goals that the individual hopes to achieve within a specific period of time.
• It is often useful to divide larger goals in to more manageable sub-goals that can be realized within weeks or months.
• Each learning goal (or sub goal) should have a series of concrete steps or actions that the person will take to move towards the goal.
• Actions should be actual behaviors. Use an action verbs (explore, examine, utilize, demonstrate, apply, analyze, define describe, interpret, prove, illustrate, distinguish, propose, devise, construct, defend, compare.)
• Each action should be associated with one or more resources and with evidence.
• Resources are anything that can be used to realize the actions to be taken towards the learning goals, such as a mentor or coach, books, courses, travel and the Internet, Note: once a resource has been applied to a goal it is often helpful to rate the effectiveness of the resource.
• Evidence is used to demonstrate that an action has been taken, that progress towards the goal has been made, and finally that the goal has been achieved.
