This matrix is a self-assessment tool use to evaluate your prior knowledge and biases prior to and following the interactive scenario. The matrix focuses on four broad areas:

• Personal Assumptions
• Cultural Humility
• Communication
• Holistic Interventions

For each row, click on the statement that best describes your personal interactions.  Your selection will be highlighted in green.  Each area will be scored, and you will received an overall score for your rubric.  In some columns, you can use a drop down to choose a more specific score - for instance if the only some of the descriptors relate to your course you may want to select a lower score.  There is also a field for your rationale, which will be included in the report.  When you are done, click on “Get Report” at the bottom of the screen.
