OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these
outcomes on the syllabi (the words goals or curriculum areas may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments can serve as your
evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you should update your outcomes progress. In the additional experiences
column, name additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome. As the semesters pass, you will think of
things from recent semesters and semesters further in the past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome.
Do not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does help to reflect often. In the descriptive notes
column, share insights about your growth, lack of progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section, you need to include evidence
that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading sheets, evaluation lettersanything that shows that someone has
determined that you have demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies of all of your evidence to
include in your Portfolio.
In HDF 291 I came up with another value statement. That value statement is be proud of who you are
and never try to change who you are for anyone in the world. This class made me realize about myself
and the people around me. It made more aware of my ignorance and to take a stand on women of
color that are not treated with the same quality of respect as anyone else. Through this class I was able
to see the more of the beauty in myself and the people around me instead of just looking at the outside
of person I was also able to look into peoples hearts. By doing this I was able to see that people face
the same obstacles that I face and have the same insecurities that I do. So instead of saying I wish I
had that and I wish I looked like that be proud of who you are and what you look like because we are
all beautiful in our own way. See evidence #8
9. Student will demonstrate practice of the FRENCH 101 BIO 102 The ways that I have demonstrated my personal value statement is a project that I have done in
personal values statement HDF 291 French 101. We had a project that we had to do and then present it to the class. The project had to be
a written-out essay in French and also a visual aid. I could have made my visual aid a PowerPoint but I
instead went above and beyond and made a 3D operational project. I felt that doing the PowerPoint
would not show 100% of what I was trying to accomplish and show to the class. What I was trying to
accomplish was for the audience to visually see what my project was on and really be able to see why
that place was so interesting. My project displayed the realness of the city life that occurred within that
city and why that city was so popular. What I made my project on was a 3D sculpture of Moulin Rouge
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 9
which is a theater/club in France. Another example where I demonstrated my personal value
statement was when I did my invasive species project for BIO 102. For This project, we only needed to
write out a report and speak about it. However, I decided to make a PowerPoint slide just so that
people had pictures to look at when I was talking about that section and the class could see and relate
to what I was trying to teach and be able to take more efficient notes.
The way that I demonstrated practice of my personal value statement is when I am thinking about
something negative about myself I make sure to think of a many positive thing to counter that one
negative thing that I found about myself. Another thing that I began to do is give out honest and loving
compliments to all females. Through my HDF 291 class I realized that many women face insecurities
and sometimes just need a small boost to brighten up there day. There were many times where I would
call a woman beautiful in my head but I never went out my way to say it to them and never realized
how much of a positive thing that can really help someone get through the day. So, I have been going
out of my way to try to make someone happy and feel good about themselves. See evidence #9
10 Student will demonstrate the ability to Jumpstart COM 100 My jumpstart team had to conduct a project from start to finish for the last eight days of the jumpstart
lead a project from start to finish (follow- session. We had to make a slideshow of all of our achievements and also make a poster board that
. through) showed a countdown until the last day. Because one of my strengths is organization I was able to
conduct the whole projects and distributed everyones part to each person. I told each team member a
due date for each part of the project and what needed to be done for each part of the project. First part
of the project was to see what we wanted to base the project on which ended up being based off one of
the stories that we read which was called The Lion and the Red Bird. After we decided what we were
going to put on the poster board and how it was going to look, I took the liberty in drawing out a small
model and from there made the final project. From the small model, I was able to give each person
their part of the project in which they needed to draw and how it would fit with the rest of project. When
everyone finished their part of the project we all then put the pieces of the project together. When that
part of the project was finished we then moved on to the slide show where I captured the pictures of
our achievements, and another person uploaded them, and we all put the final slideshow together as a
team. Another example of where I demonstrated the ability to lead a project from start to finish is during
my COM 100 class. During this class, we had a group assignment presentation on the balance of
academic time and social time for college students. During this project, we had to talk about the pros
and cons of college life and what solution we had to balance college life. For this project, there were six
people to the group and I split up all the part among the six of us. I then made a Google doc where we
all were able to put our parts together into an actual presentation. I then called a meeting for the entire
group came together and practice the presentation and to work on the reference page. We received an
A on that presentation. . See evidence #10
11. Student will describe goals and objective CSV 302 Some goals and objective statements that I have made for this class deals with personal issues, career
statements regarding personal issues, issues and also community issues. For my CSV 302 class we had to make goals and objective
career issues, and community issues statements some in which I made was to learn my children strengths, to be able to communicate with
my children and their parents, and to be able to feel completely comfortable with my children, their
parents, and also the teachers. These goals all fall under community issues and personal issues. My
personal objectives for this class were to have better organization skills, to become a better leader
within my career, and also to develop a great strategy for problem solving. These objectives fall under
personal issues and also career issues. . See evidence #11
12 Student will show evidence of goals and Jumpstart Academic grade A goal I set for myself was achieving up to 300 hours of volunteer work. The way that I achieved this
objectives that were planned and goal is through a program that I am in called Jumpstart. What jumpstart is is a program that made is
. achieved made for children ages 3-6 that live under the poverty line to have a head start in their education. What
occurs is a group of college students will go to a daycare center either before or after their daily school
routine and teach our own personal lesson plan. We will then come in and give the children about three
more hours of education. What we do during those hours is try to focus on what each student struggles
in and help them try to strengthen that subject. Jumpstart teachers focus on reading, science, art,
dramatic play, and puzzles. We meet with these children twice a week which is not enough to reach
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 10
300 hours in one year so jumpstart teachers also must make up the hours by doing outside activities
for the children and attending events that the school has to reach the 300-hour goal. Also, we help the
school teachers with different projects and activities that they need help on to better the education of
the students. Another example where I show evidence of goals and objectives that were planned and
achieved last semester I wanted to have a 3.3 GPA average so that I could make deals live and have
an overall A-. During last semester, I worked really hard. I attend every professors office hours and any
tutoring opportunity and I was able to complete the semester with a 3.5 GPA which was way above my
goal. . See evidence #12
13 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned that the Hierarchy of needs theory is made up of five levels that is composed in
Hierarchy of Needs theory by Maslow three needs section which is the self-fulfillment needs, psychological needs, and basic needs. First part
. of the pyramid is the basic needs. Within this group, it consists of two categories which is the first level
of physiological needs which is having of needing food, water, warmth, and rest. Then there is the
second category which is safety needs this category is the protection from elements, in this section it
consists of security, law limits, and freedom from fear. The next section in the pyramid is psychological
needs. This section also consists of two categories as well which is belongingness and love needs
which is when a person begins to have intimate relationships and friends. The person also has trust
and acceptance and gives and receives affection and love from being with different groups of people.
Lastly in the self-fulfillment needs group it has one category and is located on the top of the pyramid.
This category is called self-actualization. This group a person seeks personal growth and peak
experiences. This section is also located on the very top of the pyramid (Maslow). See evidence #13
14 Student will show application of Maslows Maslows Hierarchy of Needs consist of five categories. The first category is physiological needs. The
theory to own life way that I personally meet these needs is I always make sure to eat and I have a good nutrition with
. eating fruits vegetables, and protein, trying to make sure that I hit all categories. I also make sure that I
drink a lot of water and keep hydrated throughout the day especially if I am doing a lot of activities. The
way that I make sure that I keep warm is by paying my bills and making sure the heat stays on also
wearing appropriate clothing for the weather. I get at least the bare minimum of sleep as much as I can
and I try hard not to overwork my body. The next step is safety needs. I always try to put myself in an
environment where I feel comfortable in and if I am not comfortable in it I make sure to pay attention to
my surroundings and be extra alert. Another thing that I do is try to have people around me that I feel
safe and okay to be around to add onto my security and safety. The next step is belongingness and
love needs. I personally have different relationships to help fulfill this need. I have the relationship with
my friends where I have best friends which are people that I can hang out with or vent to when needed
especially if I am having a hard time or feeling alone. Then I have the relationship with my family.
Which I feel like are people which will always love me and people that I can turn to if I need help or if I
am in trouble. With my family, I feel like that is a place where I will always be long and be accepted in
no matter what the circumstances are. Then I have the relationship with my boyfriend in which is the
person that I hope in the future I would have a family with and that loves me and cares for me in a
different way in which your friends or family would. They see you in a different way and fulfill the needs
that your family and friends cant in a loving and accepting way. The next category is esteem needs.
These needs are accomplished through my goals that I set for myself. An example of this is if I set
myself to get an A on an exam or to stay committed to a certain organization or event and finish it my
goal was then accomplished and then I am motivated to set other goals and then to accomplish those
goals. Another way that these needs are met is when I am taking positive steps in my life /career. For
example, me getting my internship for the summer is an accomplishment that I have and makes me
feel good and feel like I can accomplish another task as well. The last category is self-actualization.
The way that achieve this need is by working to my full potential or in other words being the best that I
can be. I do this by being in different activities and being a part of different events and organizations.
15 Student will describe personal leadership HDF 412 HDF 290 In HDF 412 my five signature themes from StrengthQuest is restorative, achiever, empathy,
style and/or personality style including HDF 291 relator, and developer. The future career path that I have set for myself is having a bachelor in
. strengths and weaknesses and examples HDF 413 Psychology with a minor in microbiology and leadership studies. What I would like to do with this major
of application (Sources = Leadership style and minor is first learn more about the brain focusing on neuroscience and then later hoping to be a
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 11
inventories, the L.P.I., StrengthsQuest, psychiatrist opening my own practice. My first strength is restorative, the way that this strength can be
Type Focus (MBTI), LAMP, and other an asset to my future career is because restorative means that I am a problem solver, when becoming
career inventories, etc.) an actual psychiatrist, it can help my patients get through tough situations. Achiever can be an asset to
my future career because, it takes a lot of patients and determination to open up your own practice and
I feel that with my achiever strength I can do an accomplish anything that I put my mind to. Relator will
help me be able to connect one on one with my patients. I can give my patience that safe zone that
allows them to talk to me and work through anything that they need my help with. My developer
strength can be an asset because in that field there should always be growth. I should be coming up
with different ideas for my patients, to expand, or even in oneself, this strength can help me with all
steps of my career.
The way that my five strengths might be challenging to me is; restorative my way of problem
solving might not always be beneficial to the person that I am trying to help. What I mean by that is
what might have worked for me might not work for them so I would have to learn to alter my way of
thinking which could cause conflict between a patient and myself. My second strength which is
achiever might be a challenge in my career path because when I achieve I tend to over achieve. I am
constantly trying to be the best person I can be which sometimes is way over the 100% line. How this
can be a challenge is because I do not want to wear myself out or let my work consume me because I
am trying to achieve too much. Empathy; because I relate to people so much I tend to feel what they
feel. This can be challenging to my career path because I need to be able to put those feeling to the
side sometimes and not talk through emotion but talk through my mind, giving the best advice or
solution that I can possibly give. My next strength is relator the way that this strength can be
challenging is because when working with a client I cant go telling them my life story. When I relate to
people I tend to share my experiences with them and I need to be able to figure out another way to
relate without not always sharing my story. Lastly my developer strength can be a challenge because I
need to be able to take a back seat and see what other can do to help my team and my way is not the
only way that things can be successful even if I am the boss.

16 Student will show knowledge of the theory HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned that Super leadership by Manz and Slimis based on individual and self-
of Superleadership by Manz & Sims leadership. This theory is teaching and talks about individuals leading others to lead themselves. There
. is a seven-step process to super-leadership. First step is becoming a self-leader. This step teaches the
individual to first learn how to lead yourself before trying to lead others. One a person is proficient at
leading them self it leaves room to have effective followership. Some self-leadership strategies are
behavior focused strategies where a person learns self-observation, self-reward and self-punishment.
The other strategy used is cognitive focus strategies where a person learns sense of competence,
sense of self-control, and sense of purpose. The second step is modeling self-leadership. Showing
others how to lead them self. The third step is encouraging self- set goals. This step is to focus an
individual's attention and energy. The higher a person makes their goal the higher performance level.
The next step is step 4 which is create positive thought patterns. A person thought pattern is an
important element in successful self-leadership and how they build. The 5th step is developing self-
leadership through rewards and constructive reprimand. This part is accomplished through reward and
reinforcement. Step 6 is promoted self-leadership through teamwork. The way that this is accomplished
is when having a group the person does not always have to take the lead of the project but learns to
take that step back and have someone else take the lead especially when others are more proficient at
the task. A leader does not always have to be in charge and can put them self on a equal playing
ground as everyone else on their team or group. The last step is step 7 which is facilitate a self-
leadership crisis. This step is to challenge oneself of designing an integrated organizational culture that
is conductive to high performance. An example of this is make a organization, opening you own
business or even leading a group (Manz). See evidence #16

.
20 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 Library Job The Scientific Management theory was created by Taylor in 1911. I first learned about this theory in
Scientific Management theory of HDF 290 but later saw this theory put into action at the job I work in the library. This theory includes a
. leadership by Taylor four-part principles. The first principle to this theory is to replace rule-of-thumb work methods with
methods based on scientific study of the task. What this means is change work methods based on
what works with you. The second principle is scientifically select, train, and develop each worker
rather than passively leaving them to train themselves. What this principle means is to take each
individual worker and train them personally. When training the worker train them and show the person
what you want to accomplish instead of having the worker try and figure out what to do and train them.
The third principle is cooperate with the workers to ensure that the scientifically developed methods
are being followed. What this means is try to be on the same level with the worker try to be able to
teach the worker at a past that they feel comfortable. Last principle is divide work nearly equally
between managers and workers. What this means is do not give all the work to the worker try for you
to do some of the work and the worker do some of the work so one that worker can see an example
and also so the worker does not feel overwhelmed with the amount of work given to them.
See evidence #20
21 Student will describe personal application Library Job When I applied this theory to myself is my job at the library. I have been working at my job at the library
of the above theory (Taylor) for almost a year so I know how to operate everything and how everything is supposed to work. When
. new student worker was hired, I was in charge of showing that student worker how to do almost
everything. For the first principle, I showed the new student worker what the job was about and what
exactly we were doing. The way that I used the second principle was instead of having the new student
worker figure out things for herself I instead showed the student worker the process and the steps that
were taken to get the job done. For the third principle, I would show her my way of how I did the job
and then I would ask her if she felt comfortable doing it another way and if she did we cooperated that
both our ways would get the same job done. That last principle is that I divided the work evenly by me
doing one half of the work and then she did the other half. I would first give her an example of what
was supposed to be done then I would watch to see if she did it correct and then we would split up the
rest of the work evenly between the both of us. See evidence #21
22 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned that Management by object theory is a theory that was created by Drucker. This
Management by Objectives theory of theory is a five-step process. The first step is determined or revise the organizational objectives. This
. leadership by Drucker step is the starting point of management by objectives. These objectives begin with mission and vision
of a group or organization. If the organization or group has not organized and determined what their
vision is they cannot move on to the next step of the process. The second step of the process is
translating the organizational objectives to employees. This step is when the person translates the
organization or group the vision on an employee level. Communication is the biggest aspect of this
step especially when it comes to expectations, feedback, and giving rewards for different
achievements. The third step is stimulated the participation of employees in the determine of the
objectives. This step is when people that are in the group or the organization begin to participate in the
determining of personal objective that re in line with the objectives and expectations of the organization
or the group. This step is also when people tend to add their own contributions and ideas about the
ideas for the organization to make it better. This step also gets more people excited to be committed
and increases involvement in the organization or group. Step four is monitoring of progress, this step is
What lies between value and vision in the 4 Vs model is service. What service is when peoples
values are being tested and tried. This usually occurs when dealing with the least fortunate. In between
vision and voice there is polis. Polis is when people take public action to make the change. The last
service lies in between voice and values which is renewal. Renewal is when a person expresses their
voice in many ways. Some ways that people can express their voice is through speaking, writing,
acting ect. See evidence #36
37 Student will describe personal application Seeds of Success HDF 412 I applied this theory to my personal life during my organization called Seeds of Success. This
of the above theory (Grace) organization was made to help minorities in science majors are able to network with each other and are
. given opportunities to better their education and also experience. In this organization I am in charge of
coming up with idea to make the organization better so that people can get more out of the
organization. An idea that I came up with in the beginning of the semester is have a mentor program.
This mentor program was to have student be able to connect with someone older than them and
roughly in the same major as them. When first coming up with this idea I had to look at what my values
were and one of my biggest values is education. I knew that when coming into college I did not know
what classes to take or how to study for a lot of my classes which caused me to not do as well as I
hoped, and I wanted to be able to give new students the opportunity to do good from the beginning not
like I did. After looking at my values I then turned to my vision and what I wanted this program to do for
students which was create a network and also to give student the opportunity to ask other students
openly on what classes to take and not to take. I then brought my vision of this program to the rest of
the E-board in seeds of success to see how they felt and see if they saw my vision as well. When they
agreed with my idea I then voiced my idea to the rest of the organization to see if they would like the
idea. When everyone then agreed I then followed virtue and continued the program throughout the
whole year.
The way that I used my service is for the students that were in the grades younger than mine I would
have conversations with them asking them what classes they were taking at the time. If I took the same
classes as them I would give these student notes and exams that I have taken to help them better
succeed in their class. The way that I used Polis is when many students had questions on how to
better succeed in the class the organization took action to make sure that everyone that had questions
or concerns were able to ask and that each of us would try our best to make sure that we all could help
to the best of our ability. The way that I used renewal was through speaking, and writing. In the
organization, we spoke a lot about how to make classes better or each student and how we all could
help over all. After coming up with the idea we were then able to write down those ideas so that we
could do them for the next coming up semester or year. See evidence #37
38 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 290 Jumpstart When first hearing about situational leadership studies was in my HDF 290 class. Where I saw that
Situational Leadership theory by Hersey situational leadership was applied in the Jumpstart program that I am in. Situational leadership when
. & Blanchard dealing with people a leader is to change leadership depending on a person's maturity level in getting
the project done. When using the situational leadership a leader would change how they ask for a task
to be done depending on the person and if they can handle the task that is being asked for success.
Situational leadership deal with four different levels of maturity. The first maturity levels states They
lack the knowledge, skills, or confidence to work on their own, and they often need to be pushed to
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 17
take the task on. What this means is that people on this maturity level need a lot of help to
successfully do the work asked of them. The second maturity level states followers might be willing to
work on the task, but they still don't have the skills to complete it successfully. What this means is that
the person knows what they are doing a little bit however will be able to do the work as long as they are
getting stepped through the task. The third maturity level states followers are ready and willing to help
with the task. They have more skills than the M2 group, but they're still not confident in their abilities.
What this means in that people are able to do the task but when doing the task they have a few
questions here and there of how to be successful. The fourth and final maturity level states followers
are able to work on their own. They have high confidence and strong skills, and they're committed to
the task. What this maturity level means is that the person will have no questions and know exactly
what they are doing with high confidence in themselves and can get that success by themselves.
See evidence #38
39 Student will describe personal application Jumpstart Mixed Martial Arts A time where I used situational leadership is during my Jumpstart session. At my Jumpstart session I
of the above theory (Hersey & Blanchard) have to work will all different kinds of people and maturity level. Some of the groups of people I have to
. work with are children ages 3-6, parents, staff, and teachers. Depending on who I am working with I
have to change my leadership style. When working with children they are more on a Maturity level
1.The children usually do not know what to do when I ask them to do something most of the time I have
to walk the children through every step. When working with parents they are more on a maturity level
three. Parents will know what I am talking about and have a idea on how to do it however they will still
have a few questions on how to get the job successfully completed. When working with staff they
would either be on maturity level two or three depending on the situation. And when working with
teacher they are on a maturity level four where they already know what I am talking about how to do it
and what to do. Another example of where I applied this theory to my personal like is when teaching at
my mixed martial arts school. The place where I teach is called Osaka Dojo. At Osaka Dojo I work with
all ages. I work with the kiddy class, pre-teen class, teenage class, and also the adult class. Depending
on what class I am teaching I have to change my leadership style to fit the students needs. Example of
this is what I would ask in the adult class would be way more advanced and serious then what I would
ask in the kiddy class. Depending on what class I am teaching alters what the class will be like and
what we are doing. Usually for the beginner classes I will teach rolls. For the intermediate class I will
teach throws. For the advance class I would teach different kinds of locks to make the opponent knock
out. See evidence #39
40 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned that Relational Leadership model by Komives, McMahon and Lucas is about
Relational Leadership model by relationships that a person values. This model consists of five components. Those components are
. Komives, McMahon & Lucas purposeful, inclusive, empowering, ethical and process. For the five components, there are three
categories to describe each component, first in knowing which is knowing and understand, the second
is being which is a persons attitude, and lastly there is doing which is the skills a person gains in each
category. For the first component, which is purposeful is knowing how change occurs, knowing ones
mission or vision and sharing common values. Purposeful also is being committed and having a can
do attitude. Also, this category gives the person skills by giving creative thinking and vision building.
The next component is inclusive which is including yourself and others. Also, this component talks
about a person being open to different values equity. This component believes that everyone no matter
who they are can make difference, through listening skills. The next component is empowering which is
having power to move things forward like policies. This component also believes that everyone has
something to offer with their self-esteem, values, and willing to share power. The skills a person gains
in this component is sharing information, promoting self-leadership, and induvial and team learning.
The next component is ethical which is how values develop through decision making models. This
component also is where a person build trust, also expects high standards. The skills gained from this
component is trustworthy, reliable, and using moral imagination. The last component is process
oriented which is group process and the relational aspect of leadership. This component also has
quality effort with values process. The skills learned from this component is reflection, making
challenges and learning (Komives). See evidence #40

41 Student will describe personal application HDF 412 The way that I am using relational leadership is I am working with HUD to create housing for teenagers
of the above theory (Komives et al) that were kicked or ran away from home from multiple different reasoning but more focusing on the
. LGBTQ community. Through creating this program, I am attempting to bring people together to
accomplish change and make a difference for the common good. The way that I am using inclusive is I
am brining a diverse group of people together where people values come together to develop a
program that works. I use empowering through involvement. The way I do this is by making sure
everyone feel as if they have a voice and say through the action that we do. Also, allowing others to
contribute in various things like decision making through this we all gain self-leadership skills. The next
part of relational leadership is purposeful. The way that I use this is keeping everyone involved in the
group motivated and focus on our goals and what we are all trying to achieve together. The way that
this is done is through positivity and vision building. The next part is ethical and this is just staying true
to our values and what we are trying to accomplish. Also, do this a person needs to make ethical
decisions like not just making these housing for one group of teenagers. Last part of relational
leadership is process-oriented. This is saying that the group that creates this housing stays together
and continues to make this organization thrive successfully. Through time hope to have this program
running at high quality where people trust the program and us as a group to keep it functional. See
evidence #41
42 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 291 Constructivism is about how people learn and how they process their own understanding and
concept of constructivism knowledge of the world around them. The way that people do this is through their experiences and
. reflecting and analyzing those experiences. Through these experiences people are then able to make
adjustments on their life to make things better through prior experiences even if it is something
completely new or even something that they have done before. The biggest thing about constructivism
is a person must learn first to ask question, with these question a person will then explore and research
which goes into a cycle of a person constantly defining themselves and their definition of different
aspects in the world. Constructivist learning experiences focus on students desire to become more
active and become expert learners. People also gain the knowledge to learn and reflect on their own
personal ability to process new information.(Educational Broadcasting Corporation) See evidence #42
43 Students will describe personal examples HDF291 A personal example of when was implemented constructivism is in my HDF 291 class. When coming
of implementing constructivism into class I felt that I knew a lot about women of color. However, through the class I realized how little I
. really knew about women of color. The information that I knew only targeted African Americans but not
really the rest of the women of color community. This class made me more aware of what is around me
and what all women of color face, which made me learn more and change my thoughts and what I
believed the definition of women of color was. For example I was not aware that many Asian women
whiten their skin and that it was a problem or insecurity that they face. It showed me how much people
are alike and how we need to put our differences to the side and see the similarities that we actually
have. I always felt that Asians had the better end of things and because they didnt face the obstacles
that African Americans faced that they were not truly women of color. However, through this class I
realized how ignorant I was to the situation and I was able to learn and really recognize that everything
that anybody who is women of color face the same things and go through the same things. See

44 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 413 SOLC Kolbs experiential learning has four stages in the cycle. These four sages are concrete experience,
experiential learning in leadership reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. The first stage in the
. development (Kolb) cycle is concrete experience, what this is a person that is doing the experience or is having a new
experience. This stage then goes into reflective observation which is reviewing on a past experience or
reflecting on the experience that the person is currently having. The next step in the cycle is abstract
conceptualization, this step is concluding to an experience already previously done or it can be learning
from an experience in present time. The last part of the stage is active experimentation; this stage in
the cycle is planning for the next experience or trying out what you learned in previous experiences in
the new experience. From that last stage the cycles then start all over again. See evidence #44
49 Students will describe personal HDF 415 HDF 190 The way that I put this cycle into action or into practice is in my HDF 190 class also known as FLITE. I
application of the above theory. (Komives FLITE worked with individual students and facilitated a movement throughout the leadership identity stages. I
. et al) was able to design an appropriate learning experience for the freshman students in my small groups. I
also created and environment conditions that helps students for support and proper learning. The first
step was awareness which was i was aware of who i was working with throughout this process which
was two leadership staff members/ teachers and also seven other peer-leaders. The second step
which is exploration was i was confident and aware of my goals and what needed to be accomplished
in the class which was to teach these students about leadership and why it was important for their
academic and future goals. The next step is leader identification which is where I begin to learn my role
and what the group needs from me as a leader. My role as a leader in the group was to help explain
further what was needed and required. Because I am a senior and been in the leadership program
longer than everyone else there is things that I know that others do not so I was able to give out
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 21
suggestions and advice on things to make the program or classroom run more smoothly or give my
input on how I learned certain elements when I took a certain class. The fourth step is leadership
differentiated. This is when I had to take a step back from the rest of the group and let other lead. I had
to let go of what I knew was leadership and let others learn from their mistakes and even learn new
things that would make me a better leader. The fifth step is generativity which is making sure that
everyone is developing in the positive direction and everyone is learning. The way that I accomplish
this step is by asking questions. Making sure that everyone knows what is required from them and
what is expected from them. I try to make sure that everyone understands and even ask people to tell
me what they learned in their own words just so I know that they understand the information that was
given to them. The last step is integration/ systems. I realized that making sure people continue into the
minor of leadership is a long-lasting thing I just hope that my influence, influences other to try to get
other people to join the minor as well.

.
52 Student will demonstrate knowledge of Behavioral theories of leadership are called this because their main focus is to study human behavior
behavior theories of leadership from in a leadership environment. When it comes to studying people, leadership style the first thing people
. Michigan and Ohio State look at is their behavior because through their behavior a person can predicts their action. Ohio State
University (1940s) had two important behavioral studies which was task oriented leader and people
oriented leaders. What Ohio state main focus was to identify the appropriate traits that leaders have
within groups and communities. Task oriented leaders is when a leader focus on organization and
structure. This leader focus on these main concepts which are initiating, organizing, classification, and
gathering information. When focusing on these things to keep control and bring motivation to the
people that they are working with. The next behavioral study is people oriented leaders. This is when
leaders is focused ensuring inner needs of the people so that they are satisfied and comfortable. This
leader focus on human relations which relate to encouraging, observing, listening, and
coaching/mentoring. The University of Michigan (1950s) identifies three characteristics of effective
leadership. Two out of the three characteristics are mentioned in the previous Ohio State University.
What the study concluded was that relationship-oriented behaviors were not as significant to
organizational psychology as people thought. The third concept which is participative leadership is
what is important. Which is practicing an individual's skills and talents on other members or the group,
organization, company or business. Through this concept people can then work as a team and share
ideas, opinions, skills and talent to become more efficient and be overall more successful.
53 Student will describe personal application

54 Student will demonstrate knowledge of Charismatic Leadership is a person or group of people that can gather followers though their
Charismatic leadership personality or charm without having any higher power or authority. This individual usually is known to
. be an influencer which has people gradually gravitate to them and want to follow them at will. The first
characteristic of a charismatic leader is searchlight of attention. What this means is the person knows
how to work a room. This person knows how to get the attention of everyone in the room. An example
of this is when the person starts talking everyone is instinctually quite ready to hear what the person
has to say. Charismatic leader pay very close attention to their audience and the people in the room
they make sure to scan their environment and alter what they say or their mood to be able to make
people listen. The next characteristic is pulling all of the strings. Charismatic leaders use different
methods to express their image and what they are trying to voice. They gain trust within the crowd
through storytellings, or even using metaphors. The next characteristic is leading the team.
Charismatic leaders are able to build groups in which they can lead. These followers believe in what is
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 22
being said and want to be part of the greater movement. The last characteristic is alternative views.
This is when the charismatic leader sees vision and articulation, sensitivity to the environment,
sensitivity to the members needs, be able to take risk, and performing unconventional behavior.
Example of people that are charismatic leaders are Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr.
55 Student will describe personal application

56 Student will demonstrate knowledge of Fiedlers contingency theory states effective leadership depends on the style of leading and the control
contingency approach to leadership by over certain situations or problems. When it comes to contingency theory their needs to be a good
. Fiedler leader and member relationships so that they are able to create a clear goal and objective. The leader
of the group must be able to distribute rewards and punishments as needed. Without these three main
characteristics combined, leadership will end in failure. Fiedler created (LPC) scale. What this scale is,
it asks certain traits where people can rate if they are based more on one side or the other. An example
of this scale is when students in leadership fill out a VIA scale to figure out their personal strengths. An
effective leader depends on the situation and the different factors in the situation. Example of this is the
leader's personality, make-up and who is leading the group. The pros of this study are a person can
figure out who is good leader or who is the best leader to lead certain groups or organizations. Cons
about Fiedlers contingency is that the LPC scale is considered as subjective and that the scale only
helps for certain groups but not all groups.

who are the people that they are working with who is in the group. This category is connected to a
person's skills and experiences what the person knows, what the group needs, and also the personality
of the person to lead the group. The next category is leader behavior. This category consists of
directive who is the target audience and participants, how are you going to support new people or new
participants, and lastly achievement-oriented. The last category is subordinate contingency factor. This
category consists of locus of control, experience, and perceived ability.

70 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 291 HDF 412 What I learned in HDF 291 and in HDF 412 is the Cycle of Socialization consists of three arrows, three
the Cycles of Socialization (Harro) circles, and a core center. Each of these components represents seven step components of each
. theory and its uses in leadership other. The first part of the cycle talks about a situation in which a person was just born. Its a situation in
which a person has no control over meaning their religion, skin tone, or being privilege or
underprivileged. The second part of the cycle discusses what labels society had already given and an
example of this is baby girls are given pink blankets and baby boys are given blue blankets. The
second part of the cycle also discusses how people are aware of the reward received when accepting
to "norm" in society and what consequences are given when a person tries to rebel against these
"norms". The third part of the cycle which is the second circle is what helps people shape their views
and beliefs which start off with a person parents. This part of the cycle instills people prejudice or
acceptance with other people and things in society. The forth part of the cycle which is also the second
arrow represents the cycle or oppression. This part of the cycle is when people are rewarded for
following the "norms" and it is known for being good behavior' but then punished for rebelling against
oppressive and not following the "norms". The third circle discusses the results that occurred from
oppression and the cycle that it causes. The final arrow discusses a point where all of society will reach
where people must make a decision which is to do something, be against something or to simply do
nothing at all. This part of the cycle talks about how everyone is a victim to oppression and that it hurts
everyone overall. The final part of the cycle is the center or the core which is peoples fears,
misunderstandings, insecurities, confusion and so much more (Harro). See evidence #70
71 Students will demonstrate personal HDF 412 The community for whom I would like to operate in solidarity with is the LGBT community. Using
application of the Cycles of Harros Cycle of Socialization I will first begin with the core. According to the cycle of socialization the
. Socialization (Harro) core is a persons fear, ignorance, confusion, and insecurity (Harro). Relating this back to myself I
would say that I would have been more ignorant and confused. I was ignorant to the fact that I was
unaware of how much hate there was towards the LGBT community and even though I felt that all love
was beautiful I did use to say insulting comments that I learned from my peer at a young age like thats
so gay. Next part of the cycle of socialization is the beginning which states when an individual is born
in the world, that individual has no blame, no consciousness, no guilt, and no blame. That individual
either no information, little information, or the wrong information that causes that individual to create
biases, stereotypes, and prejudices (Harro). The way that this part relates to me is that I do believe I
was born in the world with no blame or guilt in which I did not begin to have until later when I was
informed more. I began with have either limited information and misinformation. I knew that being part
of the LGBT community was okay through my mom and her side of the family. However, with my father
and his side of the family and my peers when going to a mostly people of color school then later going
to a catholic school it was looked at as being so bad. Some stereotypes that I came up with as a child
was that gay men always would hang out with girls and would act girly which is not at all true. The next
part of the cycle of socialization is first socialization which is when a person is taught on a personal
level through their parents, teachers, relatives, or people they love or trust like their friends. These
teachings develop the individuals values and there way of being (Harro). For myself my biggest
teacher was my mom. I tended not to listen to my friends as much because I felt from at a young age
they were wrong about a lot of things. Also, since I was around my mom and her family most of the
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 25
time I was taught that it was okay to be a part of that community and its not our business to tell another
person who to love and who not to love which later became a strong value that I picked up. The next
part is Institutional and cultural socialization. This part reinforces messages from institutions and
culture on both conscious and unconscious levels. I can say in my whole like the message that was
reinforced was mostly all negative on a conscious and an unconscious level. I went to a catholic high
school and they always spoke about loving everyone and no hate. However, unconsciously I did not
even realize that if a person was a part of this LGBT community they were not allowed to go to prom
with their significant other because it was against the bible and I did not even know that until I saw my
friend going with a girl and I was asked him why and he told me which then made me conscious I just
thought because they talked about loving everyone and accepting everyone for who they are it wouldnt
matter. For the culture part, there was a time where I was conscious of song lyrics that were displaying
negative reinforcement, which is a song called chi chi man. This song is a Jamaican song that talks
about burning gay men for being gay. This song was extremely bad however I never told people to shut
it off or explain what the song was saying when I was younger even though I was aware of how
defensive and hurtful it was. However, I do make it aware now that when Jamaicans say slurs towards
the LGBT community I say something. The next part is to the cycle of socialization is enforcements.
Which is realizing the discrimination that people have towards them, realizing your own privilege, what
are things enforced, and what are rewards and punishments (Harro). I realized that there was a lot of
discrimination towards the LGBT community within my school, and even my own Jamaican culture. I
realized how much privilege I had being heterosexual when it came to go to my prom in high school
and realizing that my friend could not go with his significant other the same way I could have. I also
realized that I was would get a reward for being heterosexual while the LGBT community was getting
punished through hurtful words, not equal rights, and even looked at as being sick. The next part of the
cycle of socialization is results. This section is when an individual goes through self-evaluation that can
cause them to be silence, anger, guilt, more ignorance, self-hatred, stress and so much more (Harro).
For myself when I started to realize what was going on first it was a heavy sense of guilt and silence I
felt so messed up for even being part of discrimination in anyway because I never stood up for what I
believed. Then I became angry because others were not realizing or simply did not care how hurtful
they were being. The next part of this cycle is an individual can either take two ways action which is
when the individual does nothing and fall back into the cycle of socialization or they can go on the
direction for change which is when the individual takes a stand, question and reframe (Harro). For
myself I chose the direction for change. The way that I do this is first I educated myself more about the
topic then I began to educate others. I speak up for the LGBT community promising to eradicate all
defensive words or slangs from my vocabulary. I also correct others that say defensive words or slurs
against this community. Lastly, I volunteer and try to recruit other to volunteer and most of social media
that we do support the LGBTQ community. See evidence #71
72 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned the Cycle of Liberation by Harro. The first part of the cycle of liberation is waking
the Cycles of Liberation (Harro) theory up. This part is where a person makes there first decision on what they want to do. The next part is
. and its uses in leadership getting ready. Getting ready consist of empowerment through self which can come from education,
dismantling which is knowing one privilege or oppressions, developing, and gaining which is what
inspires a person. The next part is reaching out. This component is when a person communicates and
talks to other people through word of mouth, actions and experiences. The next part is building
community. This is when a person begins to work with others that is the same as them, different then
then them and is also challenging to them. The next part of this cycle is coalescing. This part is when a
person becomes organized and begin to plan. This stage of the cycle is also when a person educates
them self in being a role model and begin to make allies. The next part of the cycle is creating change.
The is when the person begins to make something new in life. The way this is dont is by taking risk,
sharing ones power with others to create a more efficient change and creating new culture. The last
part of the cycle is maintaining. This part of the cycle is when a person continues to spread hope and
73 Student will demonstrate personal HDF 412 The way that I might start a path of Liberation is first starting with the core or the cycle of liberation. The
application of the Cycles of Liberation core is self-love, self-esteem, balance, support, security, and spiritual base (Harro). For myself I
. (Harro) realized my ignorance and decided that no I am not a bad person but instead I was an ignorant person.
Now that I was aware of that I need to love myself and other and give them that support that I feel that
they need from me. The next part of the cycle is getting ready which is also the waking up. Getting
ready is having empowerment of ones self through education and consciousness raising, dismantling
knowing ones privilege and seeing who is being oppressed, developing knowing analysis tools, and
gaining being inspirational. For myself waking up was when I realized the negative outlook that people
had on the LGBT community and after speaking to one of my friends they explained to me how it
deeply made them feel. I then went on to the getting ready stage where I had empowerment to myself
educating myself on the LGBTQ community and spoke to people in the community to become
consciousness aware. I realized my privilege towards this oppressed community which was being
heterosexual. I thought of way that I could help this community overall and be and inspiration to others
to support this community (Harro). The next part of this cycle is reaching out. Reaching out is a
movement where individuals speaks out and takes a stand through tools and experimenting. The way
that I reach out is when I hear defensive words or slurs I do not hesitate to correct the persona and
educate them on why it is defensive. The next part of the cycle is building community. Building a
community is working with other similar to ones self for support and working with different people to
understand the rules and structures of the system (Harro). The way that I am building a community is
whenever I volunteer or do any activity with the LGBT community I try to get my friends to go and
support. The way that I build a community with the LGBT community is by listening to their needs and
asking questions when I do not understand something so that I understand and recognize if I am being
defensive or not. The next part of the cycle is coalescing which is organizing, coming up with an action
plan, fund raising, educating or being a role model/ally (Harro). The way that I coalescing is whenever
there is a fund raiser even I do try to attend and if I am not able to attend I try to convince others to
attend. I feel as if I am a role model to my own community of being supportive to the LGBT community,
however I find myself to be an ally towards them. I also try to educate other to educate themselves
about LGBT community. The next part of the cycle is creating change which is critically transforming
institutions and creating new culture (Harro). For this part of the cycle I feel that I am in the process of
doing by taking leadership risk when it comes to speaking out to my bosses or inferiors about the
LGBT community however I feel like I am still in the process of making bigger impacts for the LGBT
community. Last part of the cycle is maintaining which is integrating and spreading hope and
inspiration, also taking care of self and others. I do feel that I spread hope in the sense that I am a
heterosexual ally and hopefully this community can gain more heterosexual allies. For taking care of
self and other I feel that I need more time to figure out how I can accomplish this task effectively.

74 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 412 I learned in HDF 412 was about the Franklins Configuration of power model. This model consists of
the Configuration of Power (Franklin) four components which are economics, politics, bureaucratic management, and controllers of symbols.
. and its relationship to leadership Economics is located at the core. This is the person that controls the money and how its dispersed in
the community through resources. The second part is politics which is located on the second layer. This
is the people that are the protectors and deal with the people that are in power when conflicts arise.
The third layer is bureaucratic management. This layer is the people that are hired by politicians,
example of this is law enforcement. The fourth layer is controllers of symbols. This is people that are
the influencers example of this is media, school, religion, culture, family/friends. Beyond the layers lye
the minorities which is not part of any circle. An example of what is beyond the circle is minorities,
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 27
women, LGBTQ community and much more (Franklin). See evidence #74
75 Student will demonstrate personal HDF 412 I can compare this theory to my own life within my job. I work at a security company and for the first
application of the Configuration of layer it is economics. The economic part is the person in which owns the whole company. He decides
. Power (Franklin) who stays and who goes and he is the one making all the money at the company. The second part of
the layer is politics. At my security company this would be the supervisors at my job. The supervisors
are the people that everyone turns to when a situation goes bad at a work site, within an individuals
paycheck, or even when a person does not know the location that they are supposed to report at. The
next layer is bureaucratic management. If there was a union at my security job that is the layer it will fall
in. The union is there to help employees or help the security guards get a fair number of hours and not
fired for no reason. The forth layer controllers of symbols this is outside influences. For the security
company, it is how much we are advertised on social media and word of mouth. Last part is beyond the
circles or layers which is the category I fall in. Being a woman I am not put on much sites because they
feel that I wont be able to handle it then on top of that I am a minority. So, at my job I am not treated
with the best respect which causes challenges for me since I have to fight for my respect. See

76 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 291 HDF 412 Racial identity development model was designed to better understand how identity issues are resolved.
racial identity development via the Cross, This model comprises of five stages. The first stage is Conformity, what this stage consist of is a
. Helms or other models (Ferdman & person identity as being from a white culture/ background and they dont have any desire to learn more
Gallegos; Kim; Horse; Wijeyesinghe etc.) about any other culture or heritage they are just stuck in their own ways. The second stage is
Dissonance. This stage states that people that get experiences begin to contradict their white world
view on life. This stage they begin to want to learn more about other cultures and heritages. The next
stage is Resistance and immersion. This stage states that people being to actually explore other
cultures and heritages, also people begin to reject or deny white heritage and try to learn about their
own culture as much as possible. The fourth stage is Introspection; this stage is when a person is able
to find a balance between their own culture and also the white culture, which they use to help shape
their own identity. The fifth and final stage is Synergistic Articulation and Awareness. This stage is when
the individual completely accepts themselves for who they are and like all aspects of all different kind of
cultures and traditions while adding these different aspects to their own identity (Evans).
In HDF 412 the identity development model that connects to my social identity is Model of Black
Identity Development by Cross and Fhagen Smith. This model consists of six sectors. First I will talk
about some background information about this model. Race had no biological premise
(Cross&Fhagen). This theory focuses on the role of race and how it corresponds with identity and self-
concept. Racial identity is defined as a sense of a group or collective identity based on ones
perception that; that person shares a common racial heritage with particular racial groups
(Cross&Fhagen). Sector 1 is the infancy and childhood in early black identity development. This sector
includes family income, traditions, school, church, and practices that all play a role in the early
socialization of black children. Parents and guardian are black childrens biggest influence when it
comes to culture, historical events and early experiences that are unaware of racism or racial identity.
Sector 2 is Preadolescence. This sector created three identity types which are low race salience, high
race salience, and internalized racism. Low race salience is when the child receives few or no
messages from their parent or guardian regarding race on being black. High race salience is when
parents/ guardian teaches black culture because they feel it is important aspect to self-identity. Lastly
there is internalized racism which is when a child see a pattern of negativity that is placed towards
black people or towards being black in general. This causes black children to either have self-hatred or
hesitate to identify with being black. Sector 3 is Adolescence. This is when the child begins to
developed self-awareness that they are black through socialization. Their black self-concept is based
on their own beliefs rather than others. This sector is also when a black child will redefine or continue
their salience. Sector 4 is Early Adulthood. This sector consists of three identity types which are Low
Race Salience, High Race Salience, and Internalized Racism. Low Race Salience is when the person
sees diverse identities and race is unimportant. High Race Salience is when an individual stablishes
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 28
themselves with a group of people with the same values of black culture. Internalized Racism is the
same as in sector 2 where they see being black as negative. Sector 5 is Adult Nigrescence. This sector
consists of four stages which are pre-encounter, encounter, immersion-emersion, and emersion. Pre-
encounter consist of two identity types which are low race salience where the individual accepts and
appreciate black culture because others do and internalized racism where the individual is anti-black
anything. The next stage is encounter which is when the induvial questions their black identity because
of conflicts during an event they experienced. The next step is Immersion-emersion which is when the
individual becomes pro black and have a clear sense or their identity. Last stage is Emersion which is
when the person adopts a better and more enthusiastic approach to understand of black identity. This
last stage also consists of three other parts which is black nationalist, bicultural, and multicultural. The
last sector is sector 6 which is Nigrescence Recycling. This sector is when the individual experience
and event that causes the induvial to question their black identity. Individuals that achieve a healthy
self-concept will reach wisdom that will help them address issues or questions of identity.

77 Student will demonstrate personal HDF 291 AAF 150 The stage that I fall under for racial identity development model is in between the fourth and fifth
application of model(s) of racial identity HDF 412 stages which are Introspection and Synergistic Articulation and Awareness. The reason why I say that I
. development above fall under these two stages is because I am very aware of my culture and I love my culture and
everything that we do. However, I still have adopted things that I also like from white culture as well and
is beginning to start to do things in other cultures as well like go to concerts, try different foods, and
even speak different languages which is in stage five. The reason why I believe that I am not
completely in stage five yet is because I am just starting to begin to know about different cultures and
what they do or traditions are. In HDF 291 we learned a lot about some Asian cultures and what they
accept or deny in their culture, I also learned a lot about Hispanic/Latinos, and even things about
African- Americans that I did not know or acknowledged before this class. Another class that I been
learning a lot about other cultures is my AAF 150 class. This class I was able to learn about Asians,
Africans, African Americans, whites/Caucasians, and Pakistan. We even had a culture day where we
all brought a food from our own culture and we all tried their different kind of food and a lot of them I
actually really like and enjoyed. Through these experiences, I was able to learn a lot about different
cultures and is began to frame my own identity because I took things that I liked out of each culture like
music and food.
In HDF 412 Model of Black Identity Development by Cross and Fhagen Smith this model compared to
my own life I feel like I can relate to almost all concept of the theory. For sector 1 which is infancy and
childhood in early black identity development my family and friends is all I knew in my childhood. When
I was, young I lived in Stone Mountain Georgia in a cul-de-sac neighborhood which was 90% black.
The school, church and any event I went to was all the same. I did not know that I was black but I knew
we did certain things that everyone else around me also did so I just assumed everyone else in the
world did it as well. Sector 2 is Preadolescence. For this sector, there are three identities however the
identity that i relate to the most is Low Race Salience. When growing up I had no idea that I was black.
I honestly did not know that was even a thing. My mom never told me that I was black all she told me
was that I was Jamaican honestly, I did not know what that meant either. The only thing that I was
aware of was that I was a different color then some people in my class. I did not realize that I was black
until I came to Rhode Island at eight years old and even then i did not believe I was black I thought I
was black and something else. So, when it came to filling out things when I was young I would always
fill in other until 7th or 8th grade is when my mom told me you are black fill in black. Sector 3 is
Adolescence which is the stage where the individual develops black self-concept. One of the main
reasons why I use to color other and did not think I was completely black is because; one the way I
spoke my peers would say i am not black I am white because I spoke proper. Another reason why I use
to question if I was black because of the color or my skin, because I was light skin my peers would say
that I had to be something else. However, when I realized I was black was my 7th to 8th grade year
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 29
and when I went to Lasalle Academy which was a predominately white school I knew for a fact that I
was black and I was very proud to be black. In high school, no matter what students would say I was
proud to be black. Sector 4 is Early Adulthood which consist of three identity types. The identities that I
connect to is both Low Race Salience and High Race Salience. High school and college I never cared
if I was around majority white or majority people of color. The reason why I say both is because I
personally do not care who I am around I feel comfortable no matter what which is me being Low Race
Salience. However, depending on the day or what I am doing my peers would have the same values as
black culture as I do which is High Race Salience, but that is not because I prefer it because it just
happens that my friends are not that diverse among themselves which causes me to have multiple
groups of friends. For sector 5 and sector 6 I feel that I do not relate to. The reason behind that is
probably because I have not gone through the experiences that these two sectors speak of since I am
still in my early adulthood stage.

78 Students will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned about McIntoshs theory of privilege and its relationship to leadership. What I
McIntoshs theory of privilege and its learned about mostly was about white privilege. It talked about people not really understanding or
. relationship to leadership noticing their privileges. Also, there are people that dont want to give up their privilege as well.
McIntosh also explain the different types of privilege that exist some examples of this is white privilege,
male privilege, heterosexual privilege, and ect. Many people understand their oppressiveness was
unconscious. McIntosh challenge people to look at them self and see what their own privileges are. In
class, we actually did that and marked down the privileges we had then added it up together and
compared it to other people in the group (McIntosh). See evidence #78
79 Student will demonstrate personal HDF 412 The dominant social identity that I have is being heterosexual. A privilege that I personally had because
application of McIntoshs theory of my membership in this social identity group is one I am looked at as being more ideal, welcoming
. and accepting overall in society. An example of this is when going to Lasalle Academy which is a
catholic high school because I was heterosexual I could go to prom with my date however if you were
not heterosexual the person either had to go to prom alone or find someone from the opposite sex, or
they would have to say home because it was not welcomed.

81 Student will show knowledge of effective HDF 415 HDF 190 A change agent is a person encourages people to change their behavior or opinions. Change agent
leadership as it relates to change agency can consist of five major characteristics which are a clear vision, patient yet persistent, asks tough
. questions, knowledgeable and leads by example, and strong relationships built on trust. All five of
these characteristics highlights the main aspects of being an effective leader. The first character trait of
a change agent is clear vision which is a person that does not necessarily need to be in authority but
they need to clearly have a vision and can communicate this vision with others. Being an effective
leader is the same, to lead others a person must be able to communicate what they as an individual
needs/ or think needs to be done. The second characteristic of change agent is patient yet persistent.
People need to always remember that change does not happen within a day it takes times especially
when it is the kind of change that affects massive groups of people. Also, a person must be persistent,
always expressing one's vision. The more motivated and serious a person is about their vision the
more people would want to join to accomplish this vision. I believe great leaders never give up and are
patient and persistent especially when they fully believe in their vision and feel that it will make a
positive change. Ask tough questions is the third characteristic of a change agent. Being an effective
leader of being a change agent requires the person to ask as much questions as possible. These
questions that are asked help to better a solution or even come up with a whole new solution or plan.
Asking questions helps everyone in the group understand and be on the same page for the vision. A
leader must be knowledgeable and lead by example which is the fourth characteristic train of a change
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 30
agent. This is a trait which is do what you preach. A good change agent or effective leader always lead
my example and make sure they clearly know what they are talking about. The last characteristic of
change agent is strong relationship built on trust. All the above characteristics mean nothing is there is
no relationship or trust. The same thing with being an effective leader. To lead other people must have
that strong relationship and trust to follow a person. http://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/3615
82 Student will describe personal examples HDF 415 FLITE The way that I am being a change agent within my HDF 415 class; is I am a peer leader for FLITE.
of being a change agent What this means is I am one of the first introduction for students when coming into the leadership
. minor. This means many things, this mean I am being a part of a bigger picture which is the next
generation of fellow leaders. Since I am one of the first people that the freshman meet when being
introduced to the leadership minor it means a lot. The reason behind that is because I can be either a
factor that causes students to no longer want to join the minor or I can be the influence that causes
students to want to move on with the minor. This class is an introduction to get new people to come
and join into something that I believe in and have high hopes for. I believe that no matter what job field
that a person goes in or anything that a person does throughout their life they are going to need
leadership skills. I also believe that the reason why things are not going as well as it could is because
people lack leadership skills.
83 Student will create a personal code of HDF 415 FLITE In HDF 415 I learned that there are six main characteristics of inclusive leadership. The first one is
inclusive leadership commitment. What this means is that the person needs to be committed and motivated in what they
. were doing, it takes a lot of time and energy. When being a peer leader for FLITE I had to commit a lot
of time and effort into my students making sure that they received the help and support that they each
needed. The next characteristic is courage. What this means is the individual must have courage to
stand up for what is wrong or right even if they are standing alone and also what courage means is
having confidence in yourself that you know what you're doing and you can rely on yourself for the
answer. The way that I did this was there were times in my HDF 415 class or even in my FLITE class
where I had to stand up for someone or I did not agree how things were getting done so I had to speak
up to improve those problems or situations. Times in which I had to have courage in myself is when
working with my FLITE groups students would ask me question in which I was sure that I knew the
answer to however did not want to make the mistake of being wrong and I had to have to courage to
tell them to do it the way I said. The third characteristic is cognizance of bias. What this means is to
realize your own biases and to try to not let that affect or alter your decisions. Try to see everyone
equally and on an equal scale. The way I do this in my HDF 415 class is I know that I am the oldest
and I been through the leadership process but I try my best to listen to others ideas and thoughts
because they can be extremely valuable even though they are new to the minor. The fourth
characteristic is curiosity, which means keeping an open mind especially in challenging times. The way
that I succeeded in this is during my HDF 415 class there were plenty of times where the schedule had
changed and we had to change what we had planned for a certain day to a new day. Or there were
times where I liked a certain idea but my partner did not and I had to keep an open mind and come up
with an activity that we both could agree on. The fifth characteristic is cultural intelligence. This is an
understanding that people come from all different backgrounds and cultures. We must be able to see
each other differences and accept them. The way that I do this is in my FLITE class we have a diverse
group of people that comes from different backgrounds and culture. Even though we have differences
we still look at our similarities and work together. The last characteristic is collaborative. What this
means is knowing and understanding that to make things go smooth as possible and have the most
success we must work together. In my HDF 415 class all peer-leaders and teachers work together to
provide a plan to educate the student to the best of our ability. We come up with lesson plans and
activities that best suits the student's growth in learning.
84 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 412 In HDF 412 I learned about the Development Model of Intercultural Sensitivity by Bennett. This model
the Model of Intercultural Sensitivity by was created for a diverse group of people. This model explains people from different cultures
. Bennett and its uses in leadership differences and similarities. The way that this is conducted is through psychology methods. As different
people culture and values become more difference and complex the intercultural sensitivity also
increases as well. This model consists of two stages which are ethnocentric stage and ethnorelative
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 31
stages. The ethnocentric stage consists of three parts denial which is when a person does not
understand people culture difference, defense which is when a person only speaks or likes their own
culture and minimization which is when a person realizes difference within cultures but does not care
and only focus on the similarities. In the ethnorelative stage which is when a person begins to
understand it also consist of three parts. The first part is acceptance which is when the person accepts
and appreciates different cultures, adaptation which is when a person see cultures from different world
views like traveling, and lastly there is integration which is when a person is able to change from
different cultures worldwide and see and understand different worldviews. See evidence #84
85 Students will demonstrate personal

. Sensitivity by Bennett
86 Student will demonstrate knowledge of HDF 412
the ally Action Continuum by Griffin &
. Harro
87 Student will demonstrate personal HDF 412 Placing myself on the Action Continuum by Griffin & Harro I place myself between denying ignoring and
application of the Action Continuum by recognizing action which both falls under the supporting oppression side of the spectrum. The reason
. Griffin & Harro why I feel that I am there and in between is because I feel that I am not denying that I am privilege but I
do tend to ignore it a lot. I dont believe that I ignore it on purpose, but I do know it is not a priority in my
head so tend not to focus on it. Which that made me feel that I fell under the category of recognizing
and no action which is true for myself sometimes however I dont believe that I always take no action.
There are plenty of times where I acted and spoke up, I would even go to events and help fundraise for
people the oppressed which is the LGBT community. However, I do not act all the time and I find myself
putting myself first when it comes to that too sometimes. I do feel as if I am coming up with tangible
strategies and action items to committing to moving forward in the continuum. The way I am doing that
is educating myself however I feel like there is a lot more to learn before I can educate others but I do
tell others to educate themselves. Supporting and encouraging is the next step which I feel that I also
do small doses of like volunteering when I can and if I cant I make sure to spread the word and
encourage others to volunteer if that is through word of mouth or simply sharing something on
Facebook, or liking something on social media (Griffin). See evidence #87
In HDF 291 we had to have a mentor and be a mentor to someone else. My mentor was Michelle
Bagley. Her personal mentoring philosophy is "Be there for people that you feel needs you the most",
"Be kind to everyone because that kindness will come back around" and "Everyone needs someone to
listen to them". What motivate my mentor are her family, her staff, and God. Advice that my mentor
gave me is Never give up especially on what you love", "Things dont stay bad forever, keep your head
high", and Try to let out and talk about how you feel". The relationship that we have is great but yet we
still have our highs and not really and lows. The highs of our relationship are that she is always
listening to be and understand me. She is always someone to lend a helping hand no matter what the
case is. The low of our relationship is that I have to remember that she more my boss then my friend.
Our long term goals are to keep in touch when I am no longer working for her and also to travel. The
way that my mentor impacted me she helped me through my really hard times, she encouraged me to
not take time off of school when I was going through things, and she was always someone I could cry
and vent to. A time where I was a mentor and had a mentee in the class is for our mentoring project
and my mentor was Bianca Pierre. For about four months o was mentoring her in school and personal
life. I would check on her once a week to see how she was doing and if she needed anything. I also
would give her personal advice on school and also personal life. We would have things like venting
days where we would talk about everything that is on our mind and whats going on in our lives at the
time.

142 Student will describe principles of effective HDF 190 An effective peer leader is a person that already has leadership characteristics that are
peer leadership, as well as problems nominated to lead groups in which have similar characteristics of their own. What the job of a
. particular to peer leadership peer leader is to help groups of people get through a transition that the individual has already
went through. An example of this is I am a peer leader for FLITE HDF 190 course. A peer-leader
responsibility is to help fellow students transition through class, social, and new environment.
Leadership Inventory Revised 8/30/2013 41
The way that this is done is in multiple ways. This can be through giving advice on classes to
take, thing to do/join, or even resources on campus. Another way that this can be achieved is
through leading by example, doing what an individual need to do to be successful and through
this other will follow. Another way that this is achieved is by the peer-leader sharing their own
personal experiences and what worked for them and what did not work for them and what did
the individual do differently to face these optical. By a peer-leader sharing their experiences
and what they went through it gives their peer mentees the opportunity to ask question and
seek advice that they want without feel the pressure.
143 Student will describe personal examples
related to being a peer leader and being
. led by peers
144 Student will describe the four frames of HDF 413 SOLC The four-frame model consists of the following four frames; structural frame, human resource frame,
organizations by Bolman and Deal political frames, and symbolic frame. The structural frame focuses on the makeup of an organization.
. The makeup of the organization can mean the goals, structure, technology, roles and relationship. This
frame is also the division of the organization which can be related to a type of e-board structure.
Through the e-board every person has a role to play to make sure that the organization runs as smooth
as possible. Human resources frame is understanding people and the different relationships that they
have. This is connecting people feeling and emotion to the organization, asking question like what can
our organization do to make you feel more welcomed or continue to be a part of this organization.
Political frame, this frame is the frame that looks at trying to be the best organization there is. The way
that they try to do this is having diverse values, beliefs, and interest. People in the organization are
constantly brainstorming on how to make the organization better. Symbolic frame stays as true as
possible to the organization mission statement and what it stands for. This frame focuses more on the
tradition of the organization. See evidence #144
145 Student will describe personal application SOLC SAWA The SOLC organization follows the four frames or organization by Bolman and Deal. For structural
of organizational analysis using the four frame the way that this organization follows this is, every year SOLC has a goal that they want to
. frames of organizations (Bolman and Deal) accomplish. The way that they try to accomplish these goals is by all working together with e-board and
also general members. When problems and situations occur they, all work together to solve these
situations so that the organization can run as smooth as possible. For human resources, what e-board
does is make sure to relate and ask general member as much questions as possible. These questions
relate on the well-being of the general members. They ask question referring to how to keep the
general member more involved with the organization and what is needed from them as e-board
members to make the organization feel more like a family. The way that SOLC connects with political
frame is because this organization is always trying to be the best that they can be. The way they do
this by trying to follow their mission statement as much as possible SOLC won many awards in a row
for being one of the best organization on campus. The way that the organization connects to symbolic
frame is this organization has many traditions that they try to make sure to follow every year. Some of
the tradition that they have is a beginning of the school year retreat. Also, doing activities to help
people learn how to facilitate, and lead retreats, and how they finish off semesters. See evidence #145
