OUTCOMES
In this section, you will track your progress toward the outcomes. Each class in the minor
targets different outcomes; all of the classes list these outcomes on the syllabi (the words
“goals” or “curriculum areas” may be used instead). In many of our classes, the assignments
can serve as your evidence. Periodically, and not less than at the end of each semester, you
should update your outcomes progress. In the “additional experiences” column, name
additional classes or experiences that contributed to you becoming proficient in that outcome.
As the semesters pass, you will think of things from recent semesters and semesters further in the
past, or people or jobs, etc. in your past that also influenced your progress on that outcome. Do
not let that ambiguity upset you. Reflecting on development is not a linear process, but it does
help to reflect often. In the “descriptive notes” column, share insights about your growth, lack of
progress, successes, stumbling blocks, etc. At the end of each section, you need to include
evidence that supports your development toward the outcomes. Copies of papers, grading
sheets, evaluation letters—anything that shows that someone has determined that you have
demonstrated proficiency (or not, or are making progress). Make sure to keep electronic copies
of all of your evidence to include in your Portfolio.
2. Student will demonstrate HDF 190 To keep myself organized I use a daily planner, my phone
personal, organizational, calendar to track my monthly dates, events and activities as
and academic examples of well as a whiteboard calendar which is color coordinated.
self-discipline This is how I not only keep myself sane, but it is how I stay
updated with my assignments and how I plan out my life by
the week. I have also created a weekly to-do list using the
post it application on my laptop. I have three sections of this,
the day by day to do’s, a list that breaks up my assignments
by course and then things that are due for the upcoming
week so I can start to work on those if I find myself with free
time. These things allow me to stay organized, up-to-date on
my work and make sure that I account for all the things that
need to be done. This is how I keep my grades up and how I
encourage myself. Each time I get to check something off
my list, I feel a little more productive.
See Evidence #1
3. Student will demonstrate the HDF190 I manage my emotions in many ways. One of the most
ability to manage emotions effective things that I do is journaling. Sometimes my
emotions can inevitably overtake me but for the most part I
have learned and been consistent with being capable of
controlling them. I have and will continue to work to manage
them and understand them to let me grow as a person. I do
my best to write everyday. I write everything. What
happened, what I did, the people I saw and talked to, the
things I did, and also the way each of these things made me
feel. This self reflection really helps my mental health and it
allows me to feel all of my emotions.
See Evidence #2
4. Student will demonstrate HDF190 It is inevitable to experience stress in our lives and for
knowledge of stress myself, I sometimes feel like I am drowning it in. Whether it
management methods be family stressors, a loss, school, work, the fear of the
unknown or anything else. Life is stressful. There are many
things that cause us to feel stress but there are also many
ways that we can manage it. To manage my stressors, I
choose to listen to music, play guitar, snuggle my dog and
stay active. I also enjoy baking because it is something that
my Nana and I did together and it is a special memory I have
with her.. Lastly, I paint and color in a coloring book.

5. Student will demonstrate the *HDF190 The past year has had too many things happen to count. I
ability to manage stress have faced stress this year in particular that I would never
wish on anyone. I have seen people I love struggle in ways
no one should. I have seen the people I love stare death
straight in the eye and struggle and I have lost people that I
love. Through these terrible experiences, I have also had the
opportunity to learn so much about myself. I have learned
how to use these experiences to push me to work harder
and be the best version of myself that I can be. I use all of
my distractions and management skills to focus on my goals
and push forward.
See Evidence #3
6. Student will express a HDF 190 My personal code of leadership/ membership ethics is what
personal code of I will always live by. It is the way I will always live my life that
leadership / membership is based on the ability to help other people. It is standing up
ethics for the underdog, leading by example and always going out
of your way to spread kindness. If you had asked me a few
years ago, I would have said that leadership is being the
head of the pack, the person that everyone listens to, the
loud one. But since my URI Leadership experience has
begun, I have come to learn that every single person can be
a leader. Not all leaders are extroverts. Not all leaders are
loud and have the highest energy in the room. No two
leaders lead the same. The people I have come across as
some of the best leaders in my life have been people who
make others feel. Each one has their own unique set of
strengths and values and they know how to utilize them to
inspire the betterment of others.
See Evidence #4
7. Student will demonstrate *HDF190 The way I demonstrate my personal code of leadership/
practice of the personal membership ethics is through my everyday life as well as all
code of ethics of my service to others. In particular my service with Special
Olympics of Rhode Island and with the VA Post 913. These
are two organizations that are very close to my heart and
two places where I feel that my service is making a
difference. It is where I am able to help people and where I
am capable of helping people better themselves and feel just
a little bit better.

8. Student will express a HDF 190 VIA Character For HDF 190, we were asked to complete the VIA strengths
personal values statement Assessment exercise. My top 5 VIA Character Values were kindness,
(Sources = VIA, values spirituality, curiosity, gratitude and teamwork. Although
clarification exercises, etc.) everyone might have a different connection to these, I have
tried to think of the specific ways that each of these are
connected to me and relate to my life on a unique level.
Kindness. It has many meanings and there are so many
ways to express it in your everyday life. My second value
was spirituality, I feel like this one surprised me the most
but I was glad that it came up. This assessment helped me
realize that my faith and spirituality has a big influence in my
daily life.It gives me a chance ot believe in something and
not need it to make sense. It has one meaning to me and
something totally different to someone else and that it totally
fine. Curiosity was third on my list and I think that it is fitting
because I have a longing to always learn something new. I
love having something besides just school to focus on and
hobbies and clubs and organizations, my passions and my
studies, they all lead to curiosity and that is a wonderful
thing. My 4th was gratitude which honestly I expected to be
my top because everything I do is to show my gratitude. I do
my best to be conscientious and compassionate and to
understand things on a deeper level so that I can appreciate
them more. My 5th value was teamwork. Teamwork is
having an open mindset and being open to new ideas and
viewpoints. It means being genuine with who you are and
having the drive to show others the importance of sharing
ideas with other people as well. These are all very important
aspects of my life and I am glad that we got to do this for
class and spend time analyzing.
See Evidence #5
11. Student will describe goals *HDF 190 My goals are based around my ability to be constantly
and objective statements helping people. I have chosen a career goal that gives me
regarding personal issues, this opportunity and that is Nursing. I will achieve this goal
career issues, and through hard work and dedication to my education as well as
community issues going above and beyond to help those in situations and
times of need. I will work through this profession to better not
only my patients and coworkers but also the patients'
families, the students that follow me and the community
within which I serve.

17. Student will describe HDF 190 Gallup After taking the Gallup Strengths Assessment, my results
StrengthsQuest Signature Strengths showed that my top 5 are belief, learner, arranger,
Themes, shadow side of Assessment includer and positivity. Belief, to me this has many

of application (Source = always seek out the best in a person because I feel like if
Gallup) everyone around you is at their best, you are more apt to do
your best as well. I believe I got the learner strength
because I am constantly hungry to find out more. Not only in
school and my home life which revolve heavily around
medicine and research in the health field but I also love to
learn about people their thoughts about the world. (Also I
have a random fascination of cars) My third strength was
arranger which comes as no surprise to me. I am constantly
planning and organizing, not so much in like a color
coordinated thing but more of a checklist, and making a list
of steps to reach a goal. Next, I got includer which I also
find very fitting. Throughout my life I have always been a
very open and approachable person. I have always found
ways to go out of my way to respect people for who they are,
make sure they know they have a place and to help
everyone in a room of a thousand people feel together,
present and heard. Lastly, I got positivity, this strength also
seems fitting to me because I think that if you lose your
mindset you lose yourself. Your mind has SO much power
and the minute you let your negative thoughts overtake your
whole being is when the bad wins. If you stay positive and
never give the power to the bad, it can never get the best of
you. I have truly gotten the opportunity to use all my
strengths, not only in the classroom but all throughout my life
and I know I will be more able to express them in a way of
helping others as we navigate through this course.

came, I was going to face another interview process for a
position as a URI 101 Mentor. Throughout this process I
found myself utilizing my strengths. In the fall I will be a
mentor for first year Elementary/Secondary Education
students and I have the CSLD to thank for giving me the
skills and the confidence I needed.

27. Student will show HDF 190 In HDF 190 we studied servant leadership. The Servant
knowledge of the “Servant Leadership theory was created by a man named Robert
Leadership” theory of Greenleaf in 1970. This theory is a compilation of 10
leadership by Greenleaf characteristics. These 10 are listening, empathy, healing,
awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight,
stewardship, commitment to the growth of people, and
lastly, building community. Each and every one of these
characteristics are unique from one another but yet they
fit together like puzzle pieces. Each one of them is as
important as the others and different leaders will have
them in different ratios and display them differently
throughout their everyday lives. Listening, this is a very
important one because it is dire to truly hear and
understand what a person is trying to get across to you.
When someone is talking to you, listen actively. Pay
attention to not only what they are saying but also their
body language. Show them that you are listening by
giving them your undivided attention and asking clarifying
questions after they finish their entire thought. Empathy
is the next characteristic and this one is very important. It
is being 100% present. Being with them and feeling for
them rather than just showing them sympathy. Putting
yourself in someone else's shoes to better understand
not only where they are in a situation but also, who they
are and how they are feeling. Healing is truly being there
to support someone when they need it the most. It is
important to listen in order to empathize to help people
heal. This means that when someone is healing you
should be understanding where they are mentally,
showing them you are feeling with them and then cater
your support to their needs. Support them how they are
showing you that they need to be supported, not just how
you think you should be helping them. Awareness is
knowing how and when to help. The difference of thinking
you know and paying attention to what you observe.
Seeing and analyzing the situation can help you decide
where you can best assist and serve others in their time
of need. Persuasion is how a person can lead a group to
a common goal, thought, or action plan. To do this
effectively, everyone should feel heard and considered
and when a decision is made, each participant should
feel valued and as though they agree with the outcome in
some way. Conceptualization is taking the extra minute
to strategize, break down the vig picture and make it
simple. Allow everyone time to get to the same
headspace and think out the process. Foresight is being
able to look ahead. To use what you have learned in the
past, analyze your present situation and look at what the
possible outcomes could be in the future and create a
game plan to identify the possible consequences.
Stewardship is upholding values. Knowing that the
outcome of your work should reflect the greater good and
betterment of the community you are serving.
Commitment to the Growth of People is committing
yourself and your service to everyone around you. The
urge to see everyone succeed and being able to lead
with clear eyes, see the person for everything they are
and what they have to offer. Encourage them to be their
best selves, to serve others using each of their strengths
and teaching them that their weaknesses are also some
of their best and most applicable strengths for leading in
the service of others. The last is Building Community,
this means that you understand the power in and
effectiveness of togetherness. Standing together and
bonding over the common goal of the group can make for
more successful and impactful service.

37. Students will demonstrate HDF 190 Good vs. Bad In HDF 190, we were taught about the “4 V’s” theory of
knowledge of the “4 V’s” Leader Activity leadership which was created by William Grace. This
theory of leadership by (large class in theory explains his way of thinking about classifying
Grace (Center for Ethical Union) someone as a leader and the way that we learned this in
Leadership) class was through the Good vs. Bad Leader Activity we
did when we had a large class at the Union. According to
this theory, ethical leadership is knowing your core values
and having the courage to live by them through both your
service and your everyday life. The four V’s are values,
voice, vision and virtue. They help a leader to establish
how they do their service. First is values, this is the mere
essence of why we personally do our service.
Understanding that each person has a unique set of
values and that they should always stick to these values
even when it is not the easiest thing to do. In order to
effectively use ethical leadership we have to learn what
this means to us and figure out how we can use our own
values to better understand and serve others. The
second is voice, this is important because if we do not
understand how to communicate and use our voice
properly we will not be able to effectively collaborate with
other people to achieve our common goal. Next is vision,
we need to be able to visualize how our contribution and
actions will help. Making a snapshot in your mind of how
you can connect to other people on a deeper level so you
are able to connect and work together more purposefully.
The last of the four V’s is virtue, this is the ability to show
how things are going to have a positive impact. These
four V’s incorporate three elements. These are service,
politics and renewal which show how you serve people
with a purpose and clear vision with the publics’ best
interest in mind by continuously ensuring the community
that you are serving them based on a vision set by your
values.
See Evidence #9
38. Student will describe Each person you encounter in your life will have their
personal application of the own unique set of values and they will live and serve by
above theory (Grace) abiding by them. In order to effectively use ethical
leadership we have to learn what our own code of ethics
means to us and figure out how we can use our own
values to better understand and serve others. The way
that I do this is by standing up for my values, using my
voice to empower and encourage the others and the
betterment of the greater people, visualizing how my
service will help people and acting on it, and lastly having
the ability to show how each of my actions will positively
impact people.
See Evidence #9
41. Student will show HDF 190 The relational leadership model is a 5 component model
knowledge of the that helps leaders navigate their training and figure out
“Relational Leadership” the type of leaders they want to become. The 5
model by Komives, components of this model are inclusive, empowering,
McMahon & Lucas purposeful, ethical, and process-oriented. To be an
includer it is very important to be a good listener, to be
present and truly in the moment with whoever you are
interacting with. An includer makes you feel, makes you
feel a sense of belonging and makes you feel understood
and heard. The includer component, to me is the glue
that holds the rest together. If someone does not want to
include others then there is no group, there is group,
there is no common goal and there are no relationships
forming to help get you to a place where you can be a
leader. Without other people, togetherness and
connectedness, you have nothing. People make your life
worth living and the things you do worth doing.
Empowering is an important aspect of the relational
leadership model because it gives each person a positive
sense of self. Self-importance and self-worth are very
important and they both intertwine with your thoughts of
self-esteem. It is only once you value yourself and when
you know your own worth that you can inspire others to
do the same. Purposeful to me is a sense of being
mindful. Being open and honest with your thoughts,
actions, and intentions, and most importantly, finding your
‘why’. This allows you to establish your goals for the
group and make sure that your intentions are in
alignment with the rest of the group. Being ethical is
having a plan and making sure that your plan is driven by
similar values by everyone in the group and that each
person feels that they are understood, accepted and
heard in this safe space. Process-orientated is having a
sense of organization and order. To me it means making
lists, having a plan or steps to follow to help everyone be
one the same page and focus on the actual process of
putting a plan into action together.
See Evidence #10
42. Student will describe HDF 190 - Best buddies (7th This model is very useful in everyday life and is pretty
personal application of the grade-college) much a valid way to aim for mindfulness when you are
above theory (Komives et -Unified Sports going through your day to day. When working with both
al) -CNA program unified sports and best buddies in middle school and in
high school along with my CNA clinical rotations, and the
Best Buddies program here at URI, I find myself applying
this model quite often. The main goal of these groups are
to be inclusive and ethical in your mindset, thoughts and
actions. Unified sports and best buddies, alike, have
INCLUSION as their main priority. These groups help
encourage interactions as well as help foster one on one
friendships between students and community members
with and without intellectual and developmental
disabilities and provides them with common ground
whether that be sports or the club itself. As for the CNA
program, similar to a nursing practice which is my area of
study, really pushes empathy and being ethical with your
work. You need to understand the differences between
each of your patients and know and understand that you
are helping them in their most vulnerable state and that is
something they will never forget. As a CNA I worked with
only geriatric patients. Each one had a family, a specific
set of needs to be met and each one of them had a story
to be shared. My favorite part of the shifts were when I
had a free second to just have an uninterrupted
conversation and learn something new about one of my
patients. Similar to any job you could have that includes
personal interaction, connectedness is so dire to
establish trust and once you have that you and the other
individual find your purpose. You find why the world
brought you together, brought you to the situation and
circumstances you may be in. The world will never throw
something at you that it knows you cannot handle.When
you lose sight of yourself and your WHY, reevaluate
because you have survived 100% of your darkest days.
See Evidence #10 & #11
47. Student will show HDF 190 In HDF 190 we have been lectured on and have listened
knowledge of the “Social to a guest panel discussion regarding social change. The
Change Model of Social Change Model of Leadership Development was
Leadership Development” deliberately created for college students who have the
by Astin et al hope of learning about working effectively with others to
create a societal change over time. The sevens C’s for
change is a good outline for the social change model.
The seven are Congruence, Congruence of Self,
Commitment, Collaboration, Common Purpose,
Controversy with Civility and Citizenship and these
are broken down into individual, group and community
values. Starting with individuals, the first C, Congruence
means to think, feel and behave in a way that is
consistent, genuine and authentic to you. Closely related
is Congruence of Self which is more or less making sure
that you are considerate of the beliefs, values, attitude
and emotions that go into taking action. Then there is
Commitment, this is super important to the model
because it means that you are giving your all to the
situation and that you have the energy and motivation to
serve. The next section is that of a group, the first C of
this is Collaboration which to me is parallel to the
Common Purpose these two mean that the people
involved will work together to analyse the issues, share
goals and values then work to solve the task. Next is
Controversy with Civility, this one means that you know
and understand that each person will have different ideas
and that they are each valid. It is the willingness to work
together despite these inevitable differences and use
them to your advantage. Lastly is the community value of
Citizenship, this one is dire because it is the way that a
group focuses their social change implementation to help
the people of the targeted community. Making certain that
the issue you want to help resolve is one that the people
of that community feel is necessary.

personal application of the issue, a plan of action must be created to address
above theory (Astin et al) necessary change. Only after this is formulated will an
effective process begin. In our small groups, we will have
the chance to set up a plan using the model and we will
share our ideas with the class. An example of how I plan
to do this is explained in detail by the handout my group

88. Student will describe *HDF 190 I have and am continuing to be a change agent in many
personal examples of ways throughout my life. A change agent is a person who
being a change agent helps an organization transform itself by focusing on its
organizational effectiveness, improvement and
development. One example of how I am a change agent
on campus is through my involvement with Best Buddies.
I am a peer buddy and although I am not yet in a
leadership position within the group I have been asked to
consider taking on a role in the future. I advocate for
change within this community and I fight for the rightful
and equal treatment of all students on campus with or
without intellectual or developmental disabilities. Another
way I am a change agent is through my new position as a
URI 101 mentor. In this position I will help first year
students with their transition to college. I will organize
activities within my class and I will work to both develop
and improve their confidence and involvement within the
campus community at URI.

109. Student will *HDF There are a number of ways that a person can be an
demonstrate 190 active listener. Giving the speaker your undivided
knowledge of attention, reassuring looks and nods as well as other
active listening nonverbal indications and verbal affirmations can be
techniques appreciated. Providing substance filled feedback, not
the simple blanketed responses. Another technique
is to defer personal judgements and to respond with
appropriate enthusiasm, emotions and expressions.
