- Journals: A critical part of taking steps toward change is
representing learning along the way. This is a deliberate process that
calls for reflecting upon your own understandings before, during, and
after key experiences, and documenting how these understandings change.
While there are numerous ways to represent learning, we suggest using
a journal. As the series progresses, pay particular attention to changes
in your thinking, and the implications of these changes and record
them in your journal.
