Individual Development Plans

The following steps will help you create an Individual Development Plan (IDP).

(1) To begin the process of developing an Individual Development Plan (IDP), an instructional video has been created to explain the purpose of an IDP and how an IDP is developed. View the video here:

(2) After viewing the video, download this instruction sheet to obtain written instructions and Self-Assessment Worksheets that will guide your decisions on developmental items added to the IDP:

After you have created a working draft of the IDP form, share it with your advisor to obtain feedback and ideas for additional items, or to finalize the form.
