| Learning Outcome (or Gen Ed Essential Skill) | Summary of Results | Reflection on Focus Area | Intepretation of Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the complexity of person-in-environment in relation to clients and one's professionalism in the fields of Human Services. | 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. |
| 4. Demonstrate nondiscriminatory responsiveness appropriate to working with culturally diverse individuals. | 100% of students adhered to the code of ethics learned in multiple classes in the program, and applying the code at the agency level to be an effective and efficient, valued, and educated part of the agency helper team. | The results support that our teaching and reinforcement of the code of ethics is working so the students retain the info in the real world setting. | This shows us that learning the code of ethics and knowing "right from wrong" does help students when placed in an agency where ethics can be challeged and broken (unintentionally and intentionally) if not careful. Our program and this class helps reinforce this support and professionalism. |
