As noted in the introduction for this week, an important skill to have as a professional counselor is the skill of presenting information to a variety of audiences. Because this skill requires practice, receiving critical feedback from your colleagues is important as you become more aware of your skills.
For this Discussion, you will create a self-recorded video presentation of your Social Change Portfolio and post to this Discussion for further feedback from your colleagues.Note that you should not try to present every detail or piece of information from your portfolio. The purpose of the video presentation is to concisely present the most important information from each tab of your portfolio.
To Prepare:
Review the required Learning Resources for this week and consider the best practices for providing effective feedback.
Review the Kaltura Uploader link found in the navigation panel in the classroom for helpful guidelines for creating and uploading your video for this Discussion.
(Note: Be mindful of the technical requirements needed when creating your video.)
Create talking points (not a script) for your 5 minute-video according to the 5 tabs from your Social Change Project Portfolio including:
Brief Introduction of your Social Change Portfolio
Summary statement of the “Scope and Consequences” of the problem in the community
A brief statement of “Social-ecological Model” including risk AND protective factors at the individual, peer, family, school, community/cultural levels
A brief statement of the “Theories of Prevention” that underlies your strategy
A brief overview of “Diversity and Ethical Considerations” including specific populations affected.
Provide a brief summary of “Advocacy” you could take to address the problem from institutional, community, and public policy levels.
Practice a few times giving the presentation (use your talking points, but do not read a script) without self-recording.
Self-record yourself giving the presentation
Include a reference list in your post along with your video presentation.
