FGSR's Professional Development requirement
Summary:
We only have three, flexible requirements for PD credit:
- Comprises formal training and includes active learning, with an assessment component (self-assessment, reflection, quiz, write-pair-share, evidence of knowledge application)
- Falls outside of courses, research methods training, capstone project, thesis or equivalent, and required practicum
- Supports the career goals and/or seven skills/competencies identified in the individual development plan
There is also the possibility for some PD hours to count if a student is part of a University Sanctioned Committee (see full info and the form here).
Some nitty-gritty details:
Who determines what counts?
- Any PD from Campus Bridge is automatically approved as it is FGSR's idea of PD.
- Some Departments have approved pro-seminars (we don't have any in Music at the moment).
- Some students may be involved in other PD activities, as approved by the Supervisor.
How are the hours counted?
- Student tracks PD.
- The PD completion form outlining the 8 hours is signed by student and supervisor and submitted to the Grad Advisor for the student file.
- Grad Advisors sign off on the final form as it is for department records only and not submitted to FGSR.
If you have questions about whether a particular activity counts or not, please contact your supervisor first of all.
Various message from the PD office:
From: Charity Slobod <cslobod@ualberta.ca>
Hello Michael,
Thanks for your question! The FGSR only has three requirements for PD credit:
- Comprises of formal training and include active learning, with an assessment component (self-assessment, reflection, quiz, write-pair-share, evidence of knowledge application)
- Falls outside of research methods training, capstone project, thesis or equivalent, and required practicum
- Supports the career goals and/or seven skills/competencies identified in the individual development plan
We say that the department makes the final call because a few have decided to host their own PD sessions internally (as long as they still meet the three objectives listed above).
... [a] training course could very much fit! Just ensure the students gets proof of attendance/completion (either in an email, a declaration of attendance form, or certificate).
Our website is slow to be updated (we are currently short-staffed), however we do have update sessions in campusBRIDGE (lots of PD)! Please direct students to that site. They can sign up for sessions there, plus it keeps a record for their proof of attendance.
