statement values are Humor, Love, Curiosity, Judgment and Honesty. I Believe I show all of these things within
my school work and outside of school. Humor is my top strength because I believe most people I know
well can say that I make people laugh almost every day. Love is another important thing to me, I
believe it is important to care about others and show empathy when needed. Im also a very curious
person, I love to see how things work and also broaden my knowledge base every day. I believe also
that I have very good judgement, I also think through big decisions and also watch what I say to others.
Finally, Honesty is a very important thing to me, I am very honest with everyone I talk to and it is very
hard for me lie.
See Evidence #4 - Values
9. Student will demonstrate practice of the HDF 190 VIA Values Assessment Personal Values are demonstrated every day, socially and academically. My top value is humor and I
personal values statement use it every day, my sarcasm, jokes and how I hold myself always provides humor to others. Love is
also another value I hold myself to the highest. I provide empathy and love to anyone who needs any
help. I believe it is imperative to help other the best you can to make them happy and content. I also
ask people how their day is going and if they ever need anything to please contact me. Curiosity has
brought me on adventures that have taught me so much. Every day I want to broaden my knowledge
on many different topics and my curiosity makes it that so many different topics are interesting to me.
This helps me in my classes too because I love to learn about many different things, having interest in
your classes will bring you make you successful. Judgement has also been another value I live by
because it is important to constantly think about things before you do them. Judgement has made an
impact in my lacrosse career, I had to constantly think if things would be a good idea or if it would
negatively impact lacrosse For example, I wanted to go rock climbing but in the event I ever got injured
this couldve ruined my career. Finally, honesty is important in order to build connections with people
and built trust. I provide honesty in job interviews, general connections and in school. In job interviews
it is important to be honest so they know you are a right fit for the job and not just lying.

10 Student will demonstrate the ability to lead HDF 190 Marketing class In High school some friends and I started a project called best seat in the house. We wanted to make a
a project from start to finish (follow- new tradition. Best seat in the house consisted of setting up a couch on stands at the 50 yard line
. through) during one of our play offs games and free pizza, popcorn, and soda was provided. There was a lot of
planning in order to make this succeed. I was in charge of setting up the couch and getting the food.
For this I began contacting the band teacher who had large stands that could support a couch. After
this I had to talk to the ground crew at my school in order to get approval so I could put the couch on
the track. Following this I had to contact the janitors who could give me access to the band room during
the night. When the playoff game rolled around my partner and I got large plywood boards and
assembled the stands , and put the couch on it. I contacted a local pizza place and asked them to
donate to this night which they graciously did. This night went on without a hitch and I left all the
information for the next group so they could have a great night as well.

40 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 Leadership Institute. There are 5 different parts of this model, inclusive, empowering, purposeful, ethical,
Relational Leadership model by and process oriented. Within these there are 3 different ways to go about it, knowing
. Komives, McMahon & Lucas
(showing understanding), being (believing values within each component) and
doing( which shows you have skills within each one). This was really helpful during
the leadership institute on the challenge course. It was important to use all of these
components in order to succeed each piece. One piece of the model I really resonate
with is being inclusive. This part of the grid says you must understand that
differences in people are valuable, and everyone can make a difference. I believe this
is important because you need a diverse group of people with different strengths
and perspectives in order to succeed a task. When leading a group it is also
important to understand that everyone can make a difference and help the group to
succeed or you may not make everyone feel included. This model is very helpful
when working with a group of people, it creates a good environment that is very
productive and successful.
See Evidence #8 Relational Leadership Model
41 Student will describe personal application HDF 190 Leadership Institute This model was used during the challenge course which was a set of difference
of the above theory (Komives et al) courses designed to maximize team work. In this the goal of all the courses was to
.
get everyone from point A to point B, this required everyone to be inclusive. Process
oriented was also a large part used in this because we needed to be strategic when
getting everyone to point b. For example, one of the courses required us to get
everyone on a balance board without the board touching the ground. We had to
create a process to get people on the board on each side so there would be enough
weight for it to balance. This also made everyone be empowering, no matter how
many times we failed everyone made each other feel important and motivated.
During this it was also important to be ethical so everyone felt safe and knew you
were trustworthy. Without this bond some may feel like you are not trustworthy and
not feel Included.

46 Student will show knowledge of the HDF 190 HDF 190 In HDF 190 we discussed what the social change model meant and how to apply it.
Social Change Model of Leadership There are three main categories which are individual, group, and society. The social
.
Development by Astin et al change model is designed to facilitate positive social change and undertake actions
which will help the community function more effectively and humanely. There are
seven critical values, consciousness of self, congruence, commitment, collaboration,
common purpose, controversy with civility and citizenship. Consciousness of self
means that one is aware of their personal beliefs, values and attitudes in order to
help motivate them. Congruence means that one is consistent with their beliefs in
order to be a successful leader. Commitment is important in this model because a
leader needs to be committed to making change in their community and without
motivation to serve this cannot be accomplished. The leader must also know how to
collaborate in order to work with others and understand their beliefs and
perspectives. The leader must determine a common purpose so everyone is on the
same page and everyone shares a common vision. Controversy with civility means
that the leader knows differences will exist in a group but can be resolved through
open dialogue.

active listening techniques calcifying, and summarizing. Within that it Is important to state your goal, the way you go about that
(process) and what to say in order to show active listening. It is important to use these important
techniques when listening. Things like asking for clarification, restating speakers ideas, and
summarizing what they just said shows you are paying attention.
See Evidence #10 Active Listening packet
100 Student will describe examples of using HDF 190 HDF Retreat During an activity on the retreat we talked about personal issues within our lives, it was important we
active listening skills showed good listening techniques in order to relate to the person and show empathy. We were given a
. card with someones name on it, our goal was to write down a few things that we liked about what that
person had to say. In this exercise, it was important to give good eye contact, provide feedback and
restate what the speaking has said in order to show active listening.

103 Student will show knowledge of techniques HDF 190 Peer Reviewing WRT 104 Giving and accepting feedback can be hard for some but understanding techniques can help make the
regarding giving and accepting of feedback situation smoother. When giving feedback dont think of it as either positive or negative, getting rid of
. descriptors like this can make it much easier to get your point across. Before giving someone feedback
think what would be the most helpful, telling someone there sources are not cited correctly doesnt
help, show them exactly what they did wrong and how to fix it. When giving feedback it is also
important to make sure the person understands what they need to fix or what they did well, have an
open dialogue about this so you are on the same page. When accepting feedback it is important to not
get defensive, feedback is meant to be helpful not hurtful. If you disagree with the person let them
know your perspective and why you think it. When talking to the person also seek specifics, such as
How do you cite this correctly. Doing this can make accepting feedback much easier.
See Evidence #12 Peer Review sheet
104 Student will describe examples of giving HDF 190 Peer Reviewing WRT 104 In my WRT 104 class we have 5 large papers and on each of them we are required to give feedback to
and accepting feedback. three people. During this I first start out with reading the persons paper and then think about what the
. writer is trying to do. For example, we had a proposal paper which we proposed how to fix a problem in
a local community. I read a girls paper on improving recycling on the URI campus. I found that in her
paper she was not citing MLA parenthetical correctly and didnt use enough sources. When it came
time to give feedback I had an open dialogue with her and explained how exactly to cite correctly and
told her that she didnt have enough evidence to back up her claims. During this I also told her what
she did very well so she knew I wasnt only looking at downsides. In the class we accept feedback as
well, it is very important to listen to what your reviewer has to say. I wrote a paper on how it is
inhumane to keep animals in zoos, and how zoos should improve their facilities or let their larger
animals back into the wild. One reviewer said she disagreed with my agreement and said I should
change my side. While some people may find this offensive, instead of arguing I explained my side and
why I believe there should be some change. When accepting feedback, I try not to get defensive.
