Along with the Self-Assessment, MLT must participate in creating and completing a Learning Plan and Activity Log on an annual basis. The CCP cycle starts September 15 and ends December 31 the following year, for example, from September 15, 2024, until December 31, 2025. During this time, MLTs are required to participate in learning activities. The new CCP allows MLTs to report planned and unplanned learning activities impacting their professional practice in their Learning Plan and Activity Log, respectively. At registration renewal, the MLT addresses both the Learning Plan and an Activity Log. The Learning Plan is based on the Regulated Member’s assessment of their current or anticipated professional practice environment, the CMLTA Standards of Practice, and the Code of Ethics.

For the Upcoming Year

Creating a Learning Plan

The MLT must:

• Select ONE Practice Standard/Code of Ethics in which they would like to advance their current knowledge, skills, judgments, or attitudes.
• Provide a detailed reason why that particular Practice Standard/Code of Ethics was chosen and identify potential outcomes or benefits to professional practice through the completion of the Learning Plan Goal.
• Identify 1 to 3 projected learning activities – it is recognized that learning is achieved through many avenues, dependent upon the preferred learning style of the MLT. These learning activities, the tools an MLT plans to use to develop their learning objectives, may include people, literature, courses, policies, procedures, etc. When developing a Learning Plan, potential learning opportunities are often unknown. As such, MLTs are required to select projected learning activities, but the CMLTA recognizes these activities may vary from those ultimately utilized to complete a learning objective.

For the Year Ending

Over the course of the CCP Cycle, it is the MLT’s responsibility to document learning activities undertaken. At registration renewal, the MLT is required to submit a completed Learning Plan and log at least 2 different learning activities in their Activity Log, which, along with the self-assessment, will be used if randomly selected for the CCP Compliance Audit.

Completing a Learning Plan

The MLTs must:

• Provide the necessary information regarding the Learning Activity
  • Date(s)
  • Topic
• Identify at least ONE key takeaway from the Learning Activity.
• Identify at least ONE impact the Learning Activity had on the MLTs’ Professional Practice.
• Identify at least ONE impact the Learning Activity had on the MLTs’ service users.
• Provide at least ONE application of the learning in the MLTs’ professional practice.

Activity Log

A fundamental component of the CCP is recording TWO additional DIFFERENT learning activities in the online CCP Activity Log. The Activity Log exists because the CMLTA recognizes that not all learning opportunities are known a year in advance, but those unexpected learning opportunities can be just as impactful on professional practice.

The MLTs must:

• Provide the necessary information regarding the Learning Activity
  • Date(s)
  • Topic
• Relate the learning Activity to a Standard of Practice/Code of Ethics
• Identification of at least ONE key takeaway from the Learning Activity.
• Identification of at least ONE impact the Learning Activity had on your Professional Practice.
• Identification of at least ONE impact the Learning Activity had on service users.
• Provide at least ONE application of the learning in professional practice.

To ensure that members continue their professional development and not rely on the same yearly education, the CMLTA requires all activities to be different from the previous year. If selected for an audit and the same activity is used two years in a row, an MLT will be required to resubmit a new activity or participate in a new activity within a specific period of time.
