TO PREPARE

  • Review your Course Announcements for possible information related to this week’s Discussion and Assignment.
  • Read the sample communication on p. 38 of the Connecting Race and Place of the Volmert et al. (2016) article. Given what you learned last week about message framing, consider how well the author framed the message about socioeconomic mixing.
  • Review the Learning Resources on systems thinking. Pay particular attention to the four challenges of change (motivation, collaboration, focus, and learning) in Stroh’s (2015) systems thinking framework.
  • Identify at least one challenge of change that the author integrated into the Connecting Race and Place sample communication. Then, consider whether the author used a systems approach or conventional approach to meet the challenge of change and how the approach affects the messaging.
