[u02s1] Unit 2 Study 1Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal
Use the Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal to help you keep
track of your activities so you stay organized and meet all
required deadlines. The tool also contains a section for you to
record your reflections on your learning goals and experi ences
for the week. This space provides a private, informal area for
you to record your thoughts on your strengths and challenges as
they relate to inclusivity and diversity in learning environments.
Your entries won't be read, responded to, or graded by the
instructor; however, you are strongly urged to make weekly
journal entries, as you will need this content to complete the
Unit 10 Course Reflection assignment.
As you prepare your weekly reflection entry, remember to
connect at least one of Brookfield's Four Lenses to your entry:
Autobiographical experiences.
Eyes of students or clients.
Relevant theories.
Colleagues’ perceptions.

[u02s3] Unit 2 Study 3Diversity and Goal Setting
Diversity
encompasses many different characteristics within individuals
and in groups. Think about the diversity that can appear in your
own professional setting; the following is a sampling of some of
the diversity characteristics that may be represented:
Age.
Disability status.
Religion.
Ethnicity.
Socioeconomic status.
Sexual orientation.
National origin.
Gender identity.
It is impractical to cover all areas of diversity in all types of
professional settings, so as you read the articles and watch the
media pieces, think about how the main ideas could apply to
your own setting and specialization as well as how those ideas
might relate to other forms of diversity. This general principle
applies to all activities in the course. Read
Definitions [DOC]
to gain a broader perspective. Reviewing the KWL chart you
completed in Unit 1 will help you locate your professional
specialization in the general framework of the discussion.

[u02a1] Unit 2 Assignment 1
Self-Assessment of Knowledge and Skills
Overview
Whenever someone wants to embark on a journey of personal or
professional improvement, he or she must consider the starting
point. In this first assignment in the first course of your
program, you will document your starting point by completing a
self-assessment.
Assignment Instructions
There are two sections in this assignment: the self-assessment
and a goal-setting proposal. Follow these steps to develop these
sections:
In Unit 1, you should have taken the self-assessment in the Self-
Assessment and Proposal Template (linked in the Resources).
If you have done so, proceed to Step 2.
If you have not, complete the following:
Read each item on the self-assessment and reflect on your
current level of proficiency. Mark your current level as a 0, 1,
2, or 3.
Part of effective self-assessment is the ability to explain why
you assessed your skills as you did, so the next step is to write a
short narrative (3–4 sentences) for each item, presenting the
evidence to support your rating.
Move to the Learning Goals Proposal section of the template.
The headings for each part of this section are already there for
you, along with prompts to help you craft each part. Complete
the following:
Describe the main strengths that emerged from your self-
assessment of the course knowledge and skills.
Describe opportunities for growth that emerged from the self-
assessment.
Identify three goal statements for learning during this course.
Each goal statement should be observable and measurable so
you can evaluate your progress later on.
Create a brief action plan. Explain which observable actions
you will take to address each of your goals throughout the
course.
Save your completed Self-Assessment and Proposal Template
and submit it as a Word document in the assignment area.

[u02d1] Unit 2 Discussion 1
Situating Yourself Within Diversity Characteristics
In preparation for this discussion, you completed the Diversity
Worksheet, including your own characteristics and what your
position within those characteristics implies for your work.
Based on what you learned about diversity in this unit and your
own work on the Diversity Worksheet, complete the following:
Choose two of the cultural groups identified on the worksheet.
Expand on the detail that you gave in the “Implications for Your
Work” column for those two groups. What are your strengths in
working with those two groups, and what opportunities exist for
growth?
Reflect generally on how you completed the two columns in the
template. What were your "big ideas" or "aha" moments related
to how your diversity characteristics apply to your work?
Make a Connection
After responding to the discussion prompt, pose a question or
comment on an issue that interests you. This is meant to engage
your peers and let them know how they can best support you.
Response Guidelines
These guidelines apply to your responses to other learners,
which are in addition to your response to the discussion topic
itself.
Respond to at least one learner. In your response, ask two or
more questions that each post raised for you. Asking questions
is an effective way to carry on the discussion in an online
environment! Be sure to return to the discussion so you can see
the answers to your question; you may have more to add.
Post your initial responses in the discussion area by Thursday at
11:59 p.m. (Central time zone). Comments to other learners'
posts are due by Sunday at 11:59 p.m. (Central time zone).
Learning Components
This activity will help you achieve the following learning
components:
Define diversity in an educational setting.
Determine areas of strength.
Identify opportunities for improvement.

  • 1. can you help Unit 2 PRINT Creating Goals for Professional ImprovementINTRODUCTION In this unit, you will submit your first assignment. You may be nervous at the thought of submitting your first written graduate work! Use the resources you have. Give yourself plenty of time to revisit the assignment, revise it, and edit it. Ask your instructor for help if you need it. TOGGLE DRAWERREAD FULL INTRODUCTION LEARNING ACTIVITIES Collapse All Toggle Drawer [u02s1] Unit 2 Study 1Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal Use the Weekly Planner and Reflection Journal to help you keep track of your activities so you stay organized and meet all required deadlines. The tool also contains a section for you to record your reflections on your learning goals and experi ences for the week. This space provides a private, informal area for you to record your thoughts on your strengths and challenges as they relate to inclusivity and diversity in learning environments. Your entries won't be read, responded to, or graded by the instructor; however, you are strongly urged to make weekly journal entries, as you will need this content to complete the Unit 10 Course Reflection assignment.

Resource ToolboxBEGIN ACTIVITY ICON Transcript Toggle Drawer [u02s3] Unit 2 Study 3Diversity and Goal Setting Diversity encompasses many different characteristics within individuals and in groups. Think about the diversity that can appear in your own professional setting; the following is a sampling of some of the diversity characteristics that may be represented: Age. Disability status. Religion. Ethnicity.
  • 4. Socioeconomic status. Sexual orientation. National origin. Gender identity. It is impractical to cover all areas of diversity in all types of professional settings, so as you read the articles and watch the media pieces, think about how the main ideas could apply to your own setting and specialization as well as how those ideas might relate to other forms of diversity. This general principle applies to all activities in the course. Read Definitions [DOC] to gain a broader perspective. Reviewing the KWL chart you completed in Unit 1 will help you locate your professional specialization in the general framework of the discussion.

If you have not, complete the following: Read each item on the self-assessment and reflect on your current level of proficiency. Mark your current level as a 0, 1, 2, or 3. Part of effective self-assessment is the ability to explain why you assessed your skills as you did, so the next step is to write a short narrative (3–4 sentences) for each item, presenting the evidence to support your rating. Move to the Learning Goals Proposal section of the template. The headings for each part of this section are already there for you, along with prompts to help you craft each part. Complete the following: Describe the main strengths that emerged from your self- assessment of the course knowledge and skills. Describe opportunities for growth that emerged from the self- assessment. Identify three goal statements for learning during this course. Each goal statement should be observable and measurable so you can evaluate your progress later on.
