INSTRUCTIONS – The SUGGESTED GENERAL ASSIGNMENT SECTIONS are outlined below. Both the Executive Summary ( 1 page) and the DEI Plan ( 4-6 pages) should be presented in Memorandum Format and should have an appropriate Subject/Re. Address both to a senior decision maker in the organization you select to do the project on.
Executive summary – appears first in the document but written last (see more resources on Executive summaries on the Grading Rubric). Must effective summarize the main points of the DEI Plan.
Background of organization (choose an organization you know, work for or aspire to work for ) – Organization name, mission, who the organization serves, what is its employee demographic, etc
– Why does this organization need a dei roadmap (in your estimation)
Rationale
-Using the background information you presented above, describe the rationale for wriing a DEI Plan for this organization. What were some key considerations – e.g. is it the clients the organization serves? is it workers? it is new regulations that require this? etc (note)?
Approach
-What approach did you use to prepare to do this Plan? Note – did you do research? what type of research? Did you do interviews? Interview organizational leaders? You might have used a combination of approaches to prepare to write this assignment. Note any assumptions made.
-Why did you use this approach?
Present the roadmap (sections are below): Critically assess and present the 5 core elements of a DEI roadmap for the organization you choose to work on:
1. Describe DEI Goals
DEI goals are the aspirational outcomes that the organization has defined. Having a clear definition of goals is the make or break of a successful roadmap. Identifying them will help in the definition of the major steps and milestones that follow. When creating DEI goals consider that they need to be achievable, measurable and transparent to the whole team.
2. Data
The very first step of a roadmap is determining the goals. But in order to reach an educated decision of what are the most relevant areas to focus on, make sure there is organizational data that will help in determining the priorities. This is also crucial when setting measurable and relevant KPIs. Before embarking on the creation of the DEI roadmap, gather the relevant data and if it doesn’t exist consider first running a D&I survey.
Present a short analysis of the data found above.
3. What are the KPIs (see more resources on the grading rubric )? Explain each.
KPIs stand for key performance indicators; they serve as a quantifiable measure of performance. Having KPIs for a roadmap is crucial to convert the DEI goals into strategic organizational outcomes. Defining adequate metrics that will determine the success of your roadmap. The most successful KPIs are SMART: Specific, Measurable Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound.
4. Resources and responsibilities
Outline resouce needs for each KPI and describe whose responsibility it is (i.e each KPI).
It is imperative to allocate the sufficient resources both in terms of financial investment but also in terms of team members and time. If there aren’t clear allocated responsibilities, there’s no accountability and the roadmap is prone to fail.
5. Present the Timeline that the plan should be executed in
The timeline serves three strategic purposes. It communicates the planned strategic order of actions to ensure the organizational goals can be met. It communicates critical deadlines for when the activities need to be completed. This helps the people in charge of the required activities to plan their time accordingly. Lastly, it keeps the team accountable for DEI progress.
6. Wrap Up: Make some recommendations based on what you presented.
Drop in conclusion – must be an effective summary of the document.

rubrics are in files. what I wrote. Hey everyone!
My name is Dhana Pinder, I’m 35 years old and am an African American who lives in the state of Texas. Before I continue with myself, I want to wish you all best of luck in this class and your endeavors! As for my social identities, my top three I would say would be:
Gender: I am a cis-gendered male who aligns with the role a bit. I do provide for my wife and I when it comes home stuff. I’m someone who wears his heart in his sleeve and am not afraid to express myself needed. My pronouns are he/him/his.
Disability: I have a few learning disabilities was diagnosed when I was like five I think. I have ADHD, Speech and Language Issues and slightly delayed comprehension. Despite it all it hasn’t stopped me from doing the things I need to do like making friends. While I am very much a people person, growing up I had very hard time trying to express myself verbally however through many different methods such as art in different medium and the help of my parents, my speech has improved along with my sense of confidence. Emotional: As mentioned above, im a pretty emotional guy despite my gender and race. I wear my heart on my sleeve and not at lying about my feelings. They’re pretty straightforward. Normally I’m a pretty jubilant while having a chill air surrounding me most of the time. I’m natural a quiet person HOWEVER, I also see that it many people misread the quietness as being mad. Many of my friends and family often ask me if I’m okay when I do that🤣. So often as a means to make others comfortable around me I talk or engage in conversations. I enjoy being quiet but I like good company. While I have my positives, I do have my negatives. Due to me being very emotional they can be intense like a flame from a furnace. I also have my doubts in my ability due to my disabilities, however thankfully my sense of patience and recognition of what can and cant do helps me keep them in check as well as my coping mechanisms like listening to music, drawing, Martial arts, and many other things.
As for my goals and what motivates me, I’m trying to become a head teacher in art. For me I need to have my BA and a certificate to become one in HISD. Currently I work as a teacher’s aide who works with kids. For me art is one of the best ways to help kids express themselves as it did for me when I was a kid. Special needs kid gravitate toward music and the arts. my implicit bias would be when it comes to teachers and individuals who are in police force. Both play a crucial role in society however….(explain the bias of gender roles associated with it due seeing women mostly as teachers and the nurturing amd men as police officers as to serve and protect) the three cores of social justice for me would be Integrity, Diversity and Reciprocal community relationships(of you need my personal feelings on each feel free to ask)

Question 1
At the beginning of the semester, we looked at different ways that writers find their inspiration or subject matter. You observed five “somethings” of your choice for the Alien Anthropology assignment, and for the Creator’s Subject Part 1 assignment, you chose four “somethings” that connected with culture/history, a liminal space or transition in your life, a place, and a social issue that you feel passionate about.
How did any or all of this work its way into your Final draft? What did you use–directly or indirectly–from those earlier lessons and assignments in this Final draft? Or, which of the categories influenced your Final draft the most, and why? Question 2
Think back to your Creator’s Subject Part 1 writing. In that assignment, you created metaphors by connecting a “something” with a bigger concept: culture or history, liminality, a place, and a personal passion (there, a social issue you feel strongly about). What metaphor(s) did you work with for your Final draft of your story or poetry? Your metaphor(s) very likely connect to the theme(s) in your draft. What did you want to say, explore, or illuminate through your story/poetry?
Why is this message or subject important to you and to the readers you want to reach?
Hint: It’s okay if you didn’t originally write with a specific audience in mind, but by the time you write your “final” draft, you should have revised with a good idea of who your preferred readers are (or at least their demographics). Question 3
Name 2 craft elements in your work that give it the most impact, and explain in detail what you were trying to accomplish by using those craft elements the way you did. Name the craft elements, and discuss why you chose to focus your revisions on these specific craft elements. How do they connect back to the message you want to send to your target audience? Elements of craft for fiction writers: plot, setting, point of view, tense, imagery, dialogue, characterization
Elements of craft for poets: rhythm, meter, rhyme, form (also line breaks, enjambment, end stops, etc.), imagery, turns (a.k.a. “voltas”)
Question 4
In general, how did the writing process work for you? What challenges did you face as you wrote and revised? What risks did you take? What did you learn from any “mistakes” you made along the way? How did our class’ focus on creativity and creative thinking help you to overcome the challenges you faced, take those risks, and finish your draft? Question 5
Discuss what creative thinking/innovation skills you learned in this class might be useful or necessary in your academic discipline or career field. What concepts or skills from ENG 226 can you apply in those situations to help you solve problems, answer complicated questions, or innovate new ideas or solutions? (Look through the readings and exercises from the early weeks of our class to find specific ideas, skills, activities, etc., that can help you address this question. This prompt asks you to use both critical and creative skills to apply what you’ve learned in our class to life outside of class. Creative Writing really does build skills beyond storytelling and poetry!)
