Overview question: What are you learning as you apply the Module?
The Progress Review Exercise provides an opportunity to reflect on helping others – the process and approach deployed, its relative effectiveness, alternative courses of action and the steps required. The form has five self-completion sections and additionally one section for peer reviewer comments and one for course facilitator (or trainer) comments. The guide length is 750 words per completed form so that there is sufficient detail for review, feedback and corrective action (as needed).
(1) Reflecting on course applications, what did you do? What action did you take and what resources did you use? What were the outcomes? Have you addressed any problems or challenges arising? What happens next?
(2) What went well and why? Comment here on all aspects of the activities you are working on (e.g. purpose, plan, progress, outcomes).
(3) What didn’t go well and why? Comment here on all aspects of the activities you are working on (e.g. purpose, plan, progress, outcomes).
(4) What could I have done differently and how? Comment here on all aspects of the activities you are working on (e.g. purpose, plan, progress, outcomes).
(5) What did I learn, how will my learning help others and what do I need to work on next? Comment here on your personal learning outcomes and on the benefits for others, including those participating in the activities that you are facilitating.
Peer reviewer written comments (by the person observing a session led by the course participant) with the date of the session observed. The purpose of peer reviewing is to encourage shared learning. Peer review comments should be provided by someone who’s opinion you respect. Ask them to comment on the relative effectiveness of the activity observed for your own personal and professional development and on the outcomes and benefits for others.
Course facilitator written comments and feedback on progress with the date when the feedback comments were written. A written comment should be included after completing the form. Ideally the written comment should be related to a face-to-face discussion about the outcomes.
(*3). Core Learning Outcomes Review:
Necessary for Diploma in Transformational Leadership. Necessary within the degree program. To be submitted at the end of the entire course, all three modules completed, all three certificates received.
CORE LEARNING OUTCOMES: At Capturing Courage we have a handful of Inner Healing principles, a handful of Leadership Development principles, and a handful of Spiritual Authority principles. We realized some years back that if we learn and develop these principles in our own lives, ministries and communities, that we would all be changed by and by, impacted by the Lord for his glory.
As part of your final Assessment you will match the chapters with its corresponding core learning outcome.
As an Example: #1 Core Learning Outcome is WHOLE HEARTS (courageous transparency, open lives; roots and fruit). The Chapters of the course that could correlate with this learning outcome could be:
- Ch.2, FAITH; Ch.71, HEALING & REFRAMING; Ch.88, LIVING IN THE MANNA
College of Capturing Courage Core Learning Outcomes:
Inner Healing & Deliverance
- Whole Hearts (courageous transparency, open lives; roots and fruits)
- Inner Healing Model (generational strongholds, bitter-root judgments, unholy soul ties)
- The Power of Agreements (the kingdom of God vs. the dominion of Satan)
- Healing Model for Justice (true worship, full integrity, right with God and man)
- Poverty Strongholds (refusing violence, pain upon pain healed in Jesus, addressing the stories we tell)
Leadership
- Taking 100% Responsibility (no blaming, no excuses, no ‘reasons’)
- The Covering of Jesus (keeping turned to Jesus, identifying subtleties of motives)
- Relationships (mutual submission, maintain trust and safety, keeping short accounts, quick to make right)
- Coming on the Inside (as lambs and not wolves – in peace, vulnerable, the way of Christ, mutual receiving)
- We live Micah 6:8 – justice, mercy, humility (we take action, we advocate, we enter into the mess, Isaiah 1:18)
Spiritual Authority
- Rejecting paganism (bring light in and darkness flees, simple prayers, rejecting religion, leaving law behind)
- The Chasm (going deep with God, abiding in Him, allowing him our whole life)
- The Wide Road vs. The Narrow Road (rejecting religion, remaining in Christ, restoration not retribution )
- Leading in Revival for the deliverance of our nations (hunger for God, repentance, religion broken)
- Sulha (we run toward the world to take on the stones)
A). PART ONE – Taking some time over a week, you will:
1. Study the Core Learning Outcomes, thinking through what you have been learning and allowing the teaching and principles to spring to mind in regards to the different learning outcomes.
2. Glance through the course assigning the chapters to each core learning outcome.
How to do this:
1. Have one piece of paper for each Core Learning Outcome. Title the first page with 1.Whole Hearts (courageous transparency, open lives, roots and fruit), for instance. Then paper #2 with 2. Inner Healing Model (generational strongholds, bitter-root judgements, unholy soul ties). Etc. Until you have one page per Learning Outcome.
2. Then go back over the course, and write down the chapter number and name onto the Learning Outcomes that it corresponds to.
Note: You can use the Table of Contents, you can use the indexes at the back of Module TWO to help you, and you can look at the Chapters themselves to remind you of the core principle taught there.
B). PART TWO – Taking another few weeks you will:
1. Ask the Lord to remind you of a real-life stories (your own or another’s) that demonstrates each Core Learning Outcome.
2. Tell these stories. Practice sharing the stories that demonstrate the Learning Outcome with folks around you.
3. Then, write out each story (there will be 15 stories for the 15 learning outcomes). Make each story about 1 page long.
4. Send these to us as your final diploma requirement of the entire course, College of Capturing Courage. Upon completion of these two things, we will be most delighted to send you a DIPLOMA in TRANSFORMATION LEADERSHIP. Take the time you need to do this well. It is a good bit of work here, so do not rush it.
(*4). Facilitator Recommendation:
At the mid-way, and end-point, of each module, submit the course facilitator written comments and feedback on progress with the date when the feedback comments were written. A written comment should be included after completing the form. Ideally the written comment should be related to a face-to-face discussion about the outcomes.
