We will begin class (in lab 3) with an individual and a team quiz on today's readings (please see revised course outline). Please ensure you arrive on time.

For the first part of today's class, we'll welcome guest instructors Kyle and Madeleine from the Centre for Community Engaged Learning for the first part of class to facilitate a workshop on Asset Based Community Development (ABCD).

Here are their slides:

Here is a handout to facilitate your use of ABCD:

In the latter part of class, we will cover the pre-assessment tool of SWOT analysis and the needs assessment process. As previously mentioned, to account for time lost last week, we will have less in-time class to work on your projects than we would typically have and I apologise for this (it was a lot of snow!).

Here are the slides:

Week 3 SWOT Needs Ax January 22 2020 1 slide pp.pdf

Week 3 SWOT Needs Ax January 22 2020 3 slides pp.pdf

Here are the worksheets you can use to apply your learning from today and inform your work on Assignment 1 (again, I'm not sure how much in-class time we'll have to do these):

And here is a handout that has some further guidance on developing and carrying out your needs assessment plan.
