Cascadia’s First CPLP Study Group - It’s a Wrap!
By Shari Ward | June 14, 2008
Wooo hoooo!!! The chapter’s first CPLP study group wrapped up today; all five participants aced the exam this week!! Today they wrote their CPLP Elevator Speeches, which they will continue to refine. With his or her speech at the ready, each participant will be able to clearly and succinctly articulate what the credential is and how it helps them add value to an organization. AWESOME!!!
Then Kerri Nussbaum walked us through Chapter 4 of the Candidate Bulletin, which outlines the requirements for the Designing Learning work product. This was extremely helpful, as the bulletin can be a bit overwhelming and she broke it down into ‘digestible chunks’ and made connections between sections. The candidates really appreciated that approach.
The group has decided to continue meeting over the summer as they prepare their work products for a September 1st submission deadline. They plan to review each others’ work product packages to get that critical “second set of eyes.” Of course, Kerri and I will be available for last-minute coaching.
The past three months working with these folks has been inspiring. It has been wonderful to see them so supportive of each other. I get a little ‘verklempt’ just thinking of it. No, that’s not it…there’s just something in my eye, is all. <grin>
It will be a pleasure to celebrate again toward the end of the year when these fine WLP professionals finally earn the designation they have worked so hard to attain. And we will be certain to share that celebration on the chapter’s website.
So, when will you begin working on your certification? I’d love to hear from you and support you in your efforts.

This is so exciting! I’ll be interested to hear more about what the process was like, and especially how each person benefited.
Congratulations to all who passed this first part of the process. And many thanks for our ASTD-Cascadia CPLP pioneers Shari and Kerri for all their mentoring and guidance.
