This week\u2019s readings focus on the importance of the \u2018culture shift\u2019 that needs to take place in our communities in order to begin an asset building initiative(Fisher, D. (2003)\u00a0Assets in action: A handbook for making communities better places to grow up<\/em>. Minneapolis, MN: Search Institute. Retrieved from ebrary database.). Using your critical thinking skills, respond to the following questions:<\/p>\n

\n
• What do the terms \u2018strength message\u2019 and \u2018strength-oriented action\u2019 mean?<\/li>\n
• What evidence do you see of this concept played out in your local school or organizational setting?<\/li>\n
• What about in your community?<\/li>\n
• What do you see as the predominant role of adults in your community? Are they more focused on strength or risk and deficits? Do they provide relationships and programs, or just programs?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Include two or three specific actions that you consistently practice, or could immediately incorporate into your daily routine, to support a \u201cstrength-oriented action\u201d culture. If you get stuck, you may want to refer to the \u201cAsk Yourself These Questions First\u201d on Tip Sheet #1 located in the required reading for the week.
