Gain practical experience using the tools, organizations, and
communication skills learned to design an educational strategies program for colleagues in your specific
workplace or educational institution.
Critical thinking will be used to create an educational program based on the educational needs of two culturally
diverse populations. You will also explore the cultural competence of your current work (or educational) facility,
tools, and organizations already in place, and how you can help your colleagues understand the populations
they are caring for each day. You will identify problem areas and resolutions to address them in your plan.
After you have written your educational plan, share it with a colleague at work. Talk to them about your
thoughts, your goals, and why you feel the interventions will be effective. Have your colleague fill out this
survey following their review of your educational plan. You will attach your survey to the Unit 10 Dropbox in
addition to your Assignment.
