Tailoring Developmental Activities

When reviewing different suggestions for developmental activities, you should always keep in mind:

  • Personal learning-style preferences
  • Desired outcomes
  • Time and resources you have available
  • Other environmental factors that may hinder the successful implementation of the activity

You can also use this job aid to help you think through these factors to help you gauge your progress toward accomplishing your goals. You might not identify the right activity at first. The important thing is to stick to it, noticing what works and what more you need to do to move toward achieving your goal. Remain flexible to alternatives that might work better and refine your goals and activities as needed.
