MANAGING SOCIAL SERVICES
Day 1 : Self-awareness
​
Objectives
were within participants’ capabilities. However, expectations of outcomes were set too low.
​
E.g. expected only 50% of participants to distinguish between the personality types when all could do so with ease.
​
​
Evaluation
terminology used in the vanguard sheet and resource booklets was too advanced.
​
E.g. participants were not familiar with the word “decisive”, and thus had difficulty matching it to the Eagle personality type.
.
Budget
was efficient as logistics, albeit minimal, supported the activity.
​
E.g. vanguard sheet effectively facilitated learning despite low cost.
Day 2: Self Management
​
Evaluation
effectively assessed learning as participants had to demonstrate the exercises independently.
E.g. we could observe if participants had learned the correct form for the dog pose.
Objectives
were appropriate for the young demographic. Exercises were beginner-friendly and had easier alternatives.
​
E.g. the eagle pose, which requires balancing on one foot, has an alternative with both feet on the ground.
Budget
was reasonable despite substantial spending on logistics.
​
E.g. yoga mats donated to SCC for students to practice the exercises we taught them.
Day 3: Relationship Management
Objectives
were structured to encourage experiential learning of participants.
E.g. “Lift the hula-hoop” had us assist by giving prompts, rather leading the participants to the goal.
Evaluation
completion of activity did not mean objectives were met
​
E.g. more passive participants may not demonstrate problem-solving skills during “Flip the mat”.
Budget
could have been better utilised in engaging the participants.
​
E.g. hula-hoops with cling wrap were not visually appealing to participants.
