Purpose: Students will learn professional growth and development skills necessary to execute their craft through writing, reflection and discussion.
Knowledge: While APIE and other RT concepts are essential skills, learning to be a professional is also important. To help you do that, as a class, we will read Atomic Habits by James Clear (2018) and hold weekly book club meetings to discuss how to make 1% improvements one-day-at-a-time, we can develop productive, professional skills that will last a lifetime.
Task:
- Read pp. 1-28, the Introduction and Chapter 1.
- Write a blog post in narrative (paragraph) format replying to the following questions:
- Summarize Mr. Clear’s story in a few sentences. As a future recreation therapist, when you hear Mr. Clear’s story, how do you feel about future client’s capabilities and capacity for improvement despite their disability?
- The author states “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems” (Clear, 2018, p. 27). What does he mean by this statement? As you begin to develop the systems necessary to be a successful recreational therapist, what systems might need improvement to support your goals? Give an example.
