|---|---|---|---|
| 4. Demonstrate nondiscriminatory responsiveness appropriate to working with culturally diverse individuals. | 90% of students increased their performance (based on the pre and post practicum assessment). This shows valued improvement in the agency that will directly translate to another site when the student is employed in the field. | The results are a direct relationship to what was taught in the course, to the real experiential learning that happened at the site. | This shows that this course is on target in providing a well rounded agency experience and real life preview on what to expect an agency. |

| Describe the change that was implemented. | Complete regular check in with the students and with the agency to ensure detailed required are fulfilled and competencies learned are documented and attained. |
| Type of Change |
|
| Change in Assessment Approach or Tools? | No. It will require the Human Services staff (instructor, clinical coordinator, etc) to complete routine check in's with both the student and agency. |
| What data motivated the change? | We want to get to 100% of students engagement and interaction with agency initiatives and topics. This will allow us to strengthen the program with those that are succeeding, and giving extra support for those that may need some more motivation, communication, and instruction. |
| Hypothesis about the effect the change will have? | This will help the student be more confident in applying the education aspect into the experiential learning at the agency. It will also help to motivate the student in knowing that we are completing routine check in's to alleviate any anxieties. |
