How do you understand the term educational planning?

There are many definitions of educational planning. My personal opinion is as follows. Educational planning first starts with a vision. A clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. It's a dream. A passion for what want you do, and the benefit it brings others as well as yourself. However, if that vision (dream) does not have direction, it will always remain a dream and will never become a reality. Therefore, the vision comes first which also includes the will to change circumstances; Your overall long-term career goals and objectives. Next, you must develop a road-map with short-term goals and objectives which will lead to your long-term career goal. The short-term goals and objectives will ensure you that you are moving in the right direction, and will serve as a catalyst giving you excitement and incentive to carry on. When creating a road-map, it should never be without the collaboration of a mentor, or we could say a coach, or reputable counselor. Thus the following.

* Acquire the will to change circumstances * Acquire the vision (dream) * Develop a road-map leading to the overall career goal and objective * Just do it with 100% commitment and don't let go until it becomes a reality.
