In this course, you will engage your thoughts and abilities as a scholar, a practitioner, and a leader to advance your knowledge and personal academic agenda. These reflections help you position yourself as a reflexive thinking scholar, practitioner, and leader. Consider saving these statements, which serve as a critical reflection upon your growth throughout the program.

Create a reflective and applied statement describing how the learning from Weeks 1–4 has affected your thought processes, development, and professional disposition. This statement should reflect your personal learning process (challenges, moments of discovery, life experiences, and interactions). You may also include questions for the course facilitator regarding material that may still be unclear. Ideally, you will use these reflections throughout the course and the program to document your development as a scholar, practitioner, and leader, and to reflect critically on the changes that occur during this process.

Format any citations and references in your reflective statement according to APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment.
