This was the first time I have completed a job entry plan, and I found it very helpful in collecting my thoughts and ideas.  Although some parts of the plan is very ambitious; it is hopefully practical and attainable.  There are many unknown factors about what type of district (size, demographic, rural or urban, size of population, etc.), but many of the goals and objectives I wrote were somewhat generic and could be adapted to most any district with a little time and effort.
I was challenged to write a plan that would be a usable tool presently and in the future.  I see why Dr. Arterbury was so keen on this plan.  It helps the individual put their job into perspective and provides an outlet for brainstorming and logical thought.
