This assignment is designed to (1) increase your understanding of the meaning of the term “multicultural competence” as endorsed by the ACA (American Counseling Association) and (2) help you assess your current multicultural competence. For this paper, you are being asked to self-reflect upon your own level of multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills. This assignment is meant to offer to you a baseline so that you know where some of your strengths may be as well as potential gaps of knowledge in terms of multicultural competence.   a)    Understand the Multicultural Counseling Competencies. To complete this assignment, you will want to review the Multicultural Counseling Competencies that are outlined in Box 2.1 (p. 59-60) in your text as well as the article below and understand what this means in terms of the 3 areas of competence (awareness, knowledge, skills).  ACA article on Importance of MCC.pdf ACA article on Importance of MCC.pdf – Alternative Formats b)   Assess Your Current Level of Multicultural Counseling Competency.  Below are the 34 original multicultural counseling competencies. Please review and rate yourself based on the instructions included in the document on each competency currently. Please try to be honest with yourself in doing this.

Your paper will be a reflection of your experience/reactions to assessing your Multicultural Counseling Competencies. What did you learn about yourself and discuss any reactions you had? Discuss 3 specific areas of strength (and include your highest scores). Discuss 3 specific areas that you have identified as potential growth areas (and include your lowest scores) that you would like to focus on to increase your own multicultural counseling competence. Hypothesize ways you might do this. Additional Guidelines: Must Follow APA guidelines for the most part (however, personal language is OKAY in this paper); no abstract is necessary 3-4 pages maximum (excluding title and reference pages) Grading will be based quality and depth of your reflection/reactions, APA style, grammar, and organization, and demonstrated understanding of multicultural competence. Please note that although I ask you to include them, you will NOT be graded, judged, or evaluated on your scoring or areas of strength/challenge. This is meant to allow each of us to understand where we might need to grow and it is already assumed that we each have areas to grow in.

In the successful practice of public relations, it is important to distinguish between the activity (programming) such as special events, press conferences and media, and actual results. For example, investing in and developing an attractive press package is useless if no one in the media uses the material. Successful public relations practitioners understand the difference between disseminating information and achieving desired results. In this Discussion, you will differentiate and link the two. Discuss: In a discussion post, address each of the following: What is the difference between output and outcome objectives? In your opinion, are they equally important? Why or why not? Briefly describe at least two commonly used public relations “programming” activities. Include in your description a situation in which each activity would be appropriate and at least one output and one outcome objective for each.

What was your most significant experience in nature? Is there a natural place that you have worked to protect and maintain? Is there a place in nature that feels therapeutic to you in some way? Is there a place that helps explain who you are today as a person? For this first mini-project, you will write a reflection about a place in nature that is meaningful to you. “Meaningful” is broadly conceived here: it can be a place that’s central to your identity, a place that evokes nostalgia, a place that you associate with your activism. “Nature” is also broadly conceived– as we will explore in this unit, “nature” means different things to different people. To some, nature is the wilderness, while to others it’s a green park in an urban city. Since this class investigates the relationship between identity, place, space, and the cultural forces at work in any place, the prompt is deliberately broad so that you have space (ha!) to make those connections in a way that is authentic to you. However, you may not write about your experiences with “nature” generally. You must pick a specific place to talk about. Three important rules about your reflection: 1. Following the genre conventions of nature writing, you’ll want to use descriptive details, so that your reader can picture this place. Try to remember the sights, sounds, smells, and other sensory details of the experience. Help the reader understand what this place feels like, smells like, what associations you have with the place. For nature writing to be successful, it has to evoke a sense of place. 2. Before you write, you’ll also want to decide why you have chosen this place: why is it meaningful to you? What personal associations and feelings do you have with this place? Nature writing is often deeply personal. Think about how GE Patterson’s poem is different from Alice Walker’s “Am I Blue?” in terms of what it reveals about the writer. 3. You’ll also want to make it clear to us why you’ve chosen to share about this place  – what do you want us, your readers, to think about this place or your experience with this place? What’s your purpose in sharing it with us? The writers in this unit have varying purposes: to make arguments about what “counts” as nature or to make arguments about who has access to nature, to bring awareness, to reveal some aspect of the writer’s identity, etc. Two writers can write about the same place for different reasons. What’s your reason for sharing this place with us (besides the fact that it’s an assignment)? What do you want us to walk away thinking about or questioning? Because nature writing is, at it’s core, a public-facing genre, you’ll post your final draft of the discussion board called Mini-Project #1: Nature Writing, so that your classmates can read it. The reflection should be at least 500 words long. It should be a polished draft – you should edit and revise it to the best of your ability before posting.
