Throughout the duration of the Professional Capstone and Practicum course, students were required to maintain and submit weekly reflective narratives. These narratives served as a means for students to explore and reflect upon the personal knowledge and skills they gained throughout the course. In this assignment, I will be combining all of these weekly entries into one comprehensive reflective journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice as it applies to the course.
The purpose of this final submission is to not only outline what I have discovered about my professional practice, but also to discuss the personal strengths and weaknesses that emerged during this process. Additionally, I will explore the resources and abilities that could be introduced into a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and ultimately, how I have met the competencies aligned to this course. Through this reflection, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of myself as a professional and identify areas for growth and development.
The final journal will address a variable combination of the following aspects, while incorporating specific clinical practice experiences:
1. Professional practice: This section will explore the knowledge and skills gained throughout the course and how they have been applied to my professional practice. It will also examine any challenges or successes encountered in implementing new strategies or approaches.
2. Personal strengths and weaknesses: Reflecting on my personal strengths and weaknesses is crucial in promoting self-awareness and continuous improvement. This section will discuss areas where I have excelled and areas where I need to further develop or acquire new skills.
3. Additional resources and abilities: In order to achieve optimal outcomes, it is important to have access to additional resources and abilities. This section will identify potential resources and abilities that could be introduced into a given situation to improve the overall outcome.
4. Meeting course competencies: The final journal will also address how I have met the competencies aligned to this course. This will involve a reflection on how the course has enhanced my knowledge, skills, and abilities related to leadership and inquiry in professional practice.
By critically analyzing and reflecting upon these aspects, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of my professional growth, identify areas for improvement, and develop a plan for future development. This final journal will serve as a comprehensive record of my learning journey throughout the course and will demonstrate my readiness to apply the knowledge and skills gained to real-world clinical practice.
In conclusion, this assignment requires the integration of all weekly reflective narratives into a comprehensive reflective journal that explores leadership and inquiry in relation to professional practice. Through this reflection, I will gain a deeper understanding of my professional growth, identify areas for improvement, and demonstrate my readiness to apply the knowledge and skills gained in this course to real-world practice.
