Re: PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Go to CONASTA if you can, I went to my first one in Sydney this year and while it is aimed at Teachers, there are a number of workshops that are useful for Lab Techs to do. Fire polishing is what its called I believe, just don't pick up the glass stirring rod by the wrong end. I have put down visiting other school science areas. Updating Safety Data Sheets that are expired or close to expiring
Re: PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
My SAM won't let me put in things like updating SDSs because it's just a part of my duties.
I have to 'learn something new' or 'develop an existing skill'. So I can use 'learning how to bend glass tubing' which involves visiting other schools. And I can use Chemwatch training.

Mine is going well, had my mid year review last term and passed with flying colours!
Don't forget to put down networking with other labbies. I'm sure Chemtalk counts for that one!!!

Re: PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Any possibility of seeing how and what words you guys put in your PDP's
EG How do you put your ideas into an acceptable sentence ? .....I know its a strange question but I still don't know exactly how I'm meant to fill the template out
Anyone care to scan theirs ( name etc blanked out ) just so I can get an idea of what you are doing

PDP in DET
Hi all,
I've searched everywhere and can't find any conversations re: PDP's. (I know there are some here somewhere!!)
So forgive me for asking again.........but what do you all, who are employed by the DET, put down for your work and career goals?
It's such a waste of time, because if you put down any courses you'd like to do or learn new skills in any other areas within the school nothing happens anyway! (at my school at least!)
Of course it has to be in by today
TIA
Helen

Re: PDP in DET
AFAIK , if you write it in your PDP , it can't be refused .
Re: PDP in DET
bigmack,
It hasn't necessarily been refused, it's just no one gets around to it..............
I somehow didn't save a copy of my 2020 PDP and I can't for the life of me remember what I put in it! The SAM can't find it either
To be honest,I'm content with what I'm doing don't really have work or career goals, I'm just trying to make it to retirement!!

LOL I can't find mine now either but I put down something like how I'd like to learn more about the 3D printer we have for STEM which I have been thrown in charge of. I also Crapped on about how I'd like to learn how some of the 3D graphics software works . SAM just rolled her eyes and Whoo , what ever .
So long as there's something in the box for everyone to tick .

Re: PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS
The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous!!
There is supposed to be a mid year review and I think an end of year review too, needless to say after the initial PDP is put in there has never been a review....of mine anyway!
Also, I can't put down daily things we do, it has to be new things, pointless!
Sorry, rant done!!
