In this session we will cover • How to prepare an action plan to use AAC more effectively in your daily work and in your work with colleagues • We will help you to prepare a SWOT analysis of your current status • We will provide an action plan format for your own development or that of your team 2

Why Action Planning • Action plans are a good way to turn a training into measurable results. They have been defined action plans as written documents completed by learners that specify how they expect to implement learned skills or knowledge. • We ask you to write down specific things that you can do to deliver your learning. You should do this immediately completing the course. • You will keep that list so that you can reference it. You can refer to it later to see if your work and activity has developed as a result of the course. 3

Starting Simply • • • Now you have finished the course, look back over the content of the course. Take just five minutes to brainstorm a list of your insights. Then post the list somewhere as a reminder. Ask yourself this one question: What do I want to do as a result of this new information/these insights? Identify no more than three steps you'd like to take. (Three is the sweet spot between overwhelming yourself and giving it so little effort that in either case you end up doing nothing. ) Tell someone your plan. Having a planning friend - someone who knows your plan and might follow up with you - who'll help you implement it. 4

Bringing learning to life • An effective action plans depends only on your action. , ‘ 3 things I will do • • differently’ – they are more likely to be implemented! Your action plan should have specific, measurable, achievable goals with timescales (SMART) – success cannot be measured from using vague or open-ended plans Share your plan with the group – public commitment encourages us to follow through on our plans Find a planning partner to work with and who can you discuss progress with Together check out what progress has been made – discuss it on the course forum, email each other and share what progress has been made. 5

Action Plan Format • Step 1 Define what you plan to do in the next week, next four weeks and over the next three months. Be realistic about what you can achieve • Step 2 Describe how you will know you have achieved what you set out to do • Step 3 Set a date when you will review your progress – about 3 months • Step 4 Complete the progress review and think about what has worked well and what has not • Step 5 Prepare a new action plan, building upon what you have achieved do far and addressing anything that has been challenging 6
