Phase 2 Plan + Updates/Advancement to Full Citizen Scholar Status

Back to Citizen Scholars: Social Justice

You will be ready to write and submit your Phase 2 plan when you have received feedback that indicates you have developed sufficiently in all of the Phase 1 competencies. This is demonstrated through a substantial number of informal reflections and effective explanation of your development in your End of Semester Reflections for Phase 1. Your plan for Phase 2 should begin with an end of Phase 1 reflection, in which you identify key areas of growth and development, explain how you achieved that growth, and discuss how you have been transformed by those experiences. It should also lay out your plans for this next phase, including a general idea of what immersive learning experience you will engage in, and approximately when you intend to do that. It should also indicate the area of research for your discovery project, when you plan to begin that work, whether you have identified faculty mentors for the project (indicate who they are and whether they have agreed), and if you intend to pursue an individual project or work with a small group of other students. Having reviewed the competencies and artifacts associated with Phase 2, indicate what areas you are most committed to developing in this Phase, how you plan to undertake that development process, and how you anticipate the CS program assisting or supporting that development (including whether you need assistance identifying a mentor, and what we might do to provide guidance or other learning support).

Submitting your work:

When you are ready to submit work to the Achievements System, make sure you are doing that within the specific tasks (or achievements) that are relevant. Once you submit something, an icon will appear on your program roadmap (the general screen where you can view your program progress). The green icon with a check mark means you have completed that task and that it has been officially approved. The yellow icon indicates that whatever you submitted is currently under review (meaning that you have done what you need to for the moment and program administrators are reviewing your submission). The blue icon with the pin is used for handful of achievements that require you to submit something multiple times. This might be, for instance, a project plan that requires additional updates. For submissions of this sort, once your plan has been approved, the blue pin icon will appear (indicating that you are "good for now, but will have to submit something else in the future" before the entire achievement has been completed). Finally, the red icon with the explanation mark means that something you have submitted has been reviewed, but not approved and requires revision.

NOTE: This is a submission that utilizes the blue pin icon.
