Personal Action Plan-Assessment Total Points: 25 Points This project is designed to reflect on your skills as a diversity leader through engaging in the Journey of Self-Discovery activities and a personal identity assessment. After completing the activities and assessment, you will create an action plan to improve your cultural competency.Part One (10 points): In the past weeks you read Chapter 5 and learned about the Journey of SelfDiscovery, which involves various self-exploration activities developed from the Grubb Institute’s Transforming Experiences Framework. As indicated in the book, “insights gained through the personal journey provide a strong foundation for the development of cultural and linguistic competence in the health professional, which is reflected in how we communicate with patients and colleagues and the decisions we make in health care organizations” (pgs. 156-157). As part of this project, you will complete self-discovery exercises to gain insight into your journey towards cultural competence. Pay attention to your communication habits and personal attitudes as you complete these exercises. Choose two of the following activities of your choice outlined in Chapter Five (pages 156-165): (1) Group Identity Circle; (2) LifeLine Graph; (3) Images in the Media; (4) Thinking About Multiple Dimensions of Diversity; or (5)The Power of Observation. Proceed with the activity by answering the questions in the text book that accompany that section. For example, if you choose images in the media (pg. 162), briefly answer the questions in paragraph 2 and 3 (pg. 162) under “images in the media.”Part Two (15 points): a. Proceed to “Role: How do I want to operate? (Pg.165). Write a 2-3 page narrative of what you learned about your strengths and areas for development as a culturally competent health care professional. What actions can you take to improve your performance? b. Create an action plan using the template from Chapter 5 (Table 5.1: Journey of SelfDiscovery: Action Plan). You may create an Action Plan table and put it in the paper you will turn in for this project. Make sure the table has the same columns and sections as Table 5.1. Be sure to put in more detail than the example in the chapter. Use the four columns provided in the template and add between 3-5 bullet points under each column.ACCESS TO BOOK: https://clicktodownload.info/download/diversity-and-cultural-competence-in-health-care-a-systems-approach-1st-edition-b00a3iz8tw/

Discussion Prompt: What’s in a Worldview?God has granted grace to each of us, so we can take an honest, critical and discerning look at ourselves. Indeed, it is not an overstatement to observe that when it comes to answering the question, What is God’s vocation on my life, there are really two critical questions. The first: Who am I? And the second: Am I willing to live in humble acceptance of the call of God? … for now consider that few things matter more than our capacity to know ourselves, to see ourselves truthfully…[because] God’s purposes in the world are always consistent with the way that God has made the world. And, further, God’s redemptive purposes will always be in deep congruity with how God has made the world. So, to ask how is God calling you or me to act in this world, we go back to an earlier question: How did God make us? (Smith, 2011, p. 53)In this passage from Courage and Calling, Smith (2011) makes a statement that to understand our calling, you need to understand God’s design or purposes. This passage asks many important questions, but the one question to answer in this session's discussion is "How does being familiar with a biblical worldview help us understand the big picture of God’s design, and how can you apply that understanding to your own calling?"Session 5 Final AssignmentThis course has several purposes, all of which are intended to prepare you to be as successful a student at Colorado Christian University as possible. The purpose of this course is to introduce you more deeply to Colorado Christian University, the beliefs that it holds as a faith-based institution, and how that will impact your experience here at CCU. Respond to the following questions:In Session 1, you were asked to read CCU’s Strategic Priorities. Review the Strategic Priorities again in light of what we have talked about thus far in the course. Identify two of the Strategic Priorities that reflect a biblical, or Christian, worldview and explain how you see the elements of the worldview exemplified.After you have identified how the Christian worldview is evident in two of the Strategic Priorities, reflect on what you have learned throughout this course by answering the following questions: What did you discover about CCU that expanded your understanding of what it means to attend Colorado Christian University?What did you discover that may have the greatest impact on your approach to your education at Colorado Christian University?Please refer to the Session 1, 2, and 3 Assignments to see how to appropriately cite any references you make in your paper. You must incorporate references from the Biblical Perspectives and our textbook readings. Click on the Session 5 Final Assignment link to submit your final assignment by the posted due date.
