Skill-Builder Module Discussion Post

In this module, please apply an intersectional lens to describe at least ONE aspect of the training activity that you found especially relevant to your professional development as a social work practitioner (remember, practice domains are engagement, assessment, intervention, evaluation). Please connect your response to the intercultural competence learning goal(s) from your self-assessment (remember, the domains of competence are cognition, emotion, knowledge, value, skills). Be sure to incorporate specific terms and concepts from the training activity and from at least one course reading and/or other course materials.

Below, I will provide the three videos that make up the training activity. Then, I will provide all of my intercultural competence learning goals below – but just in case, for reference, I am a caucasian young-adult female.

This training activity is intended to enhance your ability to apply important concepts addressed in this unit. It is also intended to provide you with an opportunity to practice applying concepts related to intercultural competence.

Once you have watched the videos, please complete the Skill Builder Questions and Share Out components of this module.

1. Debunking the most common myths White people tell about race (3:47mins)

2. Authors Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi on how to become aware of privilege (2:39mins)

3. ‘Woke Racism’ tackles anti-racism, performative action and its effect on Black Americans (7:11mins)

Intercultural Competence Learning Goals:

a) Your cognitive and affective reactions or processes – I would like be more cognizant of the power and privilege that I have as well as the disparities and inequalities that exist, that I am at times, unaware of. I also want to be more cognizant of the power and privilege that I simultaneously do not have, as well as of the disparities and inequalities that affect me.

c) Your knowledge – Learn more about power, privilege, social systems, etc., in order to bring knowledge to professional interactions

d) Your skills – Learn skills to be able to approach matters centered around diversity, social justice, and topics such as privilege and power, difference, disproportionality, disparity, and inequality, with self-awareness of how these concepts apply to me in order not to influence clients with my own past, prejudices, values, and beliefs in relation to these topics.
