Well, this may be a bit beyond fifth grade but not very far beyond WROE, Module 2. Jacques has offered this review of the concepts he covered in Module 2. This is OPTIONAL.

If you decide to review the concepts individually or as a team and discover the need to fill in some knowledge and/or memory gaps, he has offered to meet informally with any of you who'd like to move to the head of the class in statistics and data analysis . No door prizes awarded however.

* Develop a written description of your team's practicum using the Practicum Proposal Guidelines (attached). Think about the answers individually and then spend some time as a team discussing them.

Please keep this in mind: The practicum is intended to be an opportunity for you to enhance your learning. The project needs to be manageable, have a clear beginning and end, and these boundaries need to be contracted with your client. Besides what is agreed to with the organization in terms of sharing data collected, there should be no expectation that you will be conducting a full-fledged OD intervention. The project selected should be one that supports and focuses your learning and use-of-self without undue pressure or consequences from the client system.

* Review the selected diagnostic models in Diagnostic Models (attached). Focus on Pages 1-2, 4-6 (GRPI), 9-11 (Bolman and Deal) and 30-32 (Weisbord).
