Week 6: Skill Reassessment
This course has included opportunities to practice your helping skills and establish your voice and professional identity in interactions with others. How do you see your skills now? How did you feel during the role-play assignment? As you continue to develop your skills as a human services professional practitioner, it is important to check in with yourself to see where you are and where you would like to go.
In this Discussion, you do just such a “check-in” by looking back at your skill assessment ratings in Week 1 and re-rating them now, after you have been through the course. You then share a summary with your colleagues, as well as any examples and thoughts relating to your progress.
To Prepare
- Review the video you recorded for your Week 5 Assignment, in which you played the role of the human services professional practitioner.
- With this video in mind, redo your Personal Assessment from Week 1 and consider how you have improved.
Post a summary of your progress in building your helping skills and characteristics. Note, in particular, if you have progressed in the goal you established in Week 1. Use examples from your Week 5 video to illustrate your points, and take into account your partner’s feedback. Also address any skills you may still need to develop and plans for developing them as a human services professional practitioner.
