| Engagement | Division Initiative: Interpersonal Communication Skills
Unit Goal: Improve interpersonal communication skills between Student Council Directors and Assistant Directors | A. Training in StrengthsQuest at Student Council Retreat
B. Follow-up trainings at council meetings
C. Discussion with advisors
D. Student-to-student discussions
| Student leaders will learn how to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the communication process with their director or assistant director. Student leaders will learn how to improve the communication process by understanding StrengthsQuest. | 1. Mid-semester training exercise between directors and assistant directors
2. Follow-up discussion with advisors
3. End-of-semester assessment | Jan 10: In October Student Council had a training session on understanding their StrengthsQuest types in relation to their teammate's type. Each team had a chance to discuss their communication strengths and weaknesses and set a plan for improvement. At the end-of-semester retreat, each team assessed their own and each others' communication skills. This goal will continue to be assessed in spring semester and use of results reported in June.
Spring semester's assessment found that Student Council directors felt that SQ training was valuable and the specific application of the knowledge of SQ did help their understanding of how to relate to their Assistant Directors. However, there were still challenges in some teams with their ability to relate, especially with the expectations of delegated responsibilities. | The implementation of interpersonal communication training will be offered earlier in the semester and more often during Student Council meetings. The earlier and more frequent training will provide support for the teams to address communication and delegation issues. |
