PERSONAL LIFELONG LEARNING PLAN (PLLP) SAMPLE

This Personal Lifelong Learning Plan (PLLP) presents my newest self-advancement program that will help and guide me to better live productively and adapt to the changes in the 21^st century. It is the window to what I dream for myself and my contribution to the global society as a teacher, as an educational leader, as a citizen, and as a family member.

Writing the PLLP was not an overnight task. It made me think of it from time to time, reflecting on things I need to improve on day by day. It brought me deeper into my inner self – a process of introspection about the attributes that I have and I should have so that I can strongly face and address challenges of the present century. The KSAVs that I am learning from this Course contributed significantly in reconfiguring my vision about my personal and professional development. More particularly, in looking into being able to contribute to social progress over selfish motives, and willingness to learn, relearn and unlearn.

I owe much from my principal and supervisor. They provided me a lot. First, their useful feedbacks and recommendations. Second, the wisdom and insights they shared from their seasons of rich experiences. Third, and I guess the most important, is the opportunity of helping me realize that we learn most meaningfully with other people. Learning is a social engagement. We learn from others more and better, and I learn more and better from them.

Challenges in the plan implementation phase are constant ingredients. But having the plan implemented efficiently and effectively is surely fun. Here, I consider challenges as internal (personal) and external (from others). Under internal challenges, losing focus and undefined foggy priorities are personal threats. On the other hand, lack of support from family, colleagues, school officials and stakeholders, lack of resources, and not established policy mechanisms are foreseen external challenges. 

These threats are just but normal. Internal challenges can be overcame with clear direction coupled with determination and motivation in implementing the PLLP. Focus, decisiveness and dynamism to learn will aid me row unstopped in enhancing my 21^st century literacies. A way of beating the external challenges is establishing partnership with the right people whose eagerness to learn is a common goal. This will create opportunities for collaboration, socialization, and leveraging of ideas.

In a nutshell, PLLP is an energy that makes me moving in the 21^st century.
