Awareness of an area for growth is gained. Intentions are set. Pre-assessments provide data of what is or is not (yet) in place. A plan is created and carried out. Reflection occursâhow is the plan working? Have any new layers been revealed that invite re-prioritizing? What is the next appropriate step?
Many of us naturally and continually work through this process of noticing, analyzing and growing. It can be an important part of our personal journey to slow down and celebrate all that we really accomplish each day! Hopefully this sounds familiar because, essentially, it is an informal version of an Edu-K balance.
Noticing a Need for Social Media
This process works just as well at the organizational level. For example, the Educational Kinesiology Foundation has employees and members who are aware of the relevance of social media in todayâs world. Noticing we were it became evident that involvement in social
media would benefit the organization, members and, perhaps most important, the greater public. An intention was set. We examined our knowledge base and acquired new information, as was deemed relevant and supportive to reaching our goal. The plan to get from point A to B included writing a policy and accompanying procedures, gathering
and analyzing data via a survey, and opening a couple of social media accounts. By the end of the summer, weâll be ready to reflect and refine as necessary.
