Introduction The purpose of the IPDP is to help employees identify their professional development goals. It will also help them think about and identify the resources and activities they will need to achieve these goals. IPDPs will also help the deans develop a clear picture of the professional development needs of the employees in their division. Filling IPDPs with Faculty and Staff Development will aid in planning campus-wide professional development activities. It might be helpful for you to consider the following question as you complete your IDP: What do you want to do to improve your learning and/or workplace skills? The IDP is organized into two parts: Assessment & Goals (I and II) and Activities (III)
