Cultural Competence

Journal entries help you to reflect, think critically, express your feelings, and write focused arguments about the concepts and ideas we review in the course. In this entry, you will write about your current level of confidence and competence in working with diverse people. Your entry must be at least 500 words in length (not including any subheadings or restatements of the questions). Make sure you carefully review the scoring rubric for the diversity journal entries before submitting your assignment. Journal Prompt What fear or anxiety do you have related to working with diverse people? What have you already to alleviate those fears? What else might you do? Assess your skills against Terry Cross’s five skill areas needed for cultural competence. In which skill areas do you feel most confident? Which areas do you think will need further development as you build your cultural competence? What resources or experience might you seek out to develop these skills?
