We will have many reflective moments where we will bring our experiences into the classroom; I welcome and embrace these connections.\u00a0 Sometimes they will happen in relationship to the readings we are discussing, other times you will be strategically guided through questions, and there will be times where it organically appears through various other class components such as critiques or a talk.\u00a0 As well, you will be writing out two reflective journals on your own at home.<\/p>\n

Reflection Journal #1 \u2013 Goal Setting<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This first journal asks you about your expectations, and to set individual goals as you embark on this experience.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Briefly explain your overall impression and resulting expectations of what community engaged experiential learning might look like, and what insight you hope it will give you.<\/li>\n
  2. This is an ideal time to pause and articulate personal, academic, and professional goals that you hope to achieve by the end of the course. This intentional creation of personal learning goals will help you to more fully collaborate with your partner while taking an active role in your own learning. Below are some guiding questions that you might find useful in writing one<\/strong> of each type of goal. Instead of simply listing the goal, provide some background\/context to make it clear why this goal is important to you, and what it will mean to you if you achieve it. Setting goals that are achievable within the frame of the course is important. Consider how you will know if you have achieved them, how can you measure them?\u00a0 What will that look like to you?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    PERSONAL
    \n<\/strong>How might this experience inform my identity as an artist and\/or arts professional?
    \nWhat personal characteristics do I hope to better understand and develop through this experience?<\/p>\n

    ACADEMIC
    \n<\/strong>What histories, theories or models do I hope to learn more about?
    \nWhat knowledge do I hope to gain about artistic practice as research?<\/p>\n

    PROFESSIONAL
    \n<\/strong>What skills do I hope to gain through this experience that will help me in my future art\u00a0 or related career?
    \nHow can I ensure this experience allows me to gain the skills I need to embark on a career in the arts?<\/p>\n

    Due:\u00a0 To be completed by 9am on September 25th<\/sup><\/strong>,\u00a0(no extensions) before class starts, in the Journal section in Connect.\u00a0 Journals are completely confidential.\u00a0 In some cases, you may not be able to meet with your partner institutions until after the due date.\u00a0 Please email me ahead of time to let me know if this is the case, and you will be granted an extension to accommodate this.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Post-Reflection<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    A post-reflection written journal will be distributed through Connect for you to self-reflect on your entire experience. You will be asked three leading questions that you should aim to respond with deep introspection and thought.\u00a0 Your ability to disseminate and articulate your experience will result in life-long learning skills, wherein you will get the tools you need to see real life experiences as learning experiences.
