Scenario 1 – School |
Extended Scenario from Project Guidelines and Rubric
You are interacting with a diverse group of peers this term who come from different cultures, socioeconomic statuses, ability levels, learning styles, career goals, and more. You are tasked with creating a guidebook that details the importance of social justice, cultural awareness, and communication strategies in the school setting. Your guidebook will begin by introducing the concepts of social justice in relation to the school setting. Then, it will describe how having an awareness of culture and diversity can positively impact communication and collaboration in school. Finally, it will model how to navigate one of the following conflicts by applying interpersonal communication strategies and restorative practices. Your guidebook will be passed down to new students.
Conflict #3 – Determining priorities
You are a first-year college student and are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of the coursework, extracurricular activities, and your part-time job. You have a lot of assignments and projects due in the coming weeks, and you are finding it difficult to balance everything while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle and social life. Your close friend recommended that you meet with your academic advisor. Your academic advisor is from a different culture than you and suggests that you leave your part-time job. However, you need the job to help pay for college tuition and to remain in college.
