Understanding
EFF terminology:
"Common
Activities"
After individual
"role maps" were created which describe what an
adult needs to do to effectively fill each of
the three roles, key activities which are common
to all three roles were identified:
|
- Gather,
Analyze and Use Information
- Manage
Resources
- Work Within
the Big Picture
- Work
Together
- Provide
Leadership
- Guide and
Support Others
|
- Seek
Guidance and Support from Others
- Develop and
Express Sense of Self
- Respect
Others and Value Diversity
- Exercise
Rights and Responsibilities
- Create and
Pursue a Vision and Goals
- Keep Pace
With Change
|
Understanding
EFF terminology:
"Generative
Skills"
These are skills
that adults use more than one at a time to
perform a "Common Activity." These skills are
the foundation of our ability to learn and use
other, more specific skills; they are
long-lasting and essential to effective
functioning as an adult.
