Begin by identifying and describing the components of the SPL model and its significance in your learning and development. Then, discuss how embodying a doctoral demeanor—characterized by professional language, behavior, and accountability—complements the SPL model to support your academic, professional, and personal growth.  Reflect on the impact of these principles in shaping your doctoral identity and enhancing your academic journey, especially in preparing you for increased accountability throughout your dissertation process.

Be a critical thinker. Work well with others. Trust what you know. Show respect. Persevere. Use positive language. Humbly accept guidance.
