Reflecting and recording your professional development is crucial to making the most of your AMA, which is a continuing professional development (CPD) programme.
The CPD log supports your learning by creating a framework for recording and reflecting on your developmental activities.
The CPD log has the following headings to help you capture your learning:
- Date: when the development activity was undertaken
- Hours: time spent on the development activity (your AMA requires 36 hours of CPD per year)
- Activity: a brief description of the activity
- Reflection: captures what you’ve taken away from the development activity – what have you learned and how could you apply it/have you applied it?
The Excel version also includes the following optional headings, which you can use depending on your approach and preferred level of detail:
- Self review: highlighting the goal the activity relates to
- Competencies: highlighting the competency the activity relates to
- Principles of Code of Ethics: highlighting the Code of Ethics principle the activity relates to
- Principles of Museums Change Lives: highlighting the Museums Change Lives tenet the activity relates to
You can also add other headings if you wish.
