Valuing Professional Practice Principles

I have introduced myself in my autobiography, but I did not explain why I enrolled in the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program, or what excites me about taking PIDP 3260. I enrolled in the program initially because I accepted a position in 2013 as a Provincial Trainer for an organization that supports individuals with developmental disabilities. Prior to 2013, my experience with adult education included: teaching music theory and practice to adults; tutoring an adult with a developmental disability; and mentoring new social workers including practicum students. In 2014, I started the PIDP with the goal of learning more about my role as an adult educator and increasing my knowledge and ability to support our staff with their learning.

As a social worker, I have always been interested in anything that supports and informs professional practice including: social work ethics; ethical decision making; valuing culture and other types of diversity; valuing self-determination; and being a reflective practitioner. As a Provincial Trainer, I am excited to learn more about the areas of professional practice that relate specifically to this role. This leads to why I am taking PIDP 3260. I am taking this course for two reasons. First, because it is one of the required courses for complete the PIDP. Second, I have been looking forward to taking a deeper dive into what is important to the professional practice of an adult educator.
