      revise for grammar. Consider using an AI tool to "spice up" your language. These tools are OK to use as long as the IDEA is your own. There are a lot of issues in your PDE. Please read my comments under each section. I am happy to meet with you in person to assist with any issues you have completiing your PDE.

    1. Interacts is an important

      what do you mean? please clarify

      Please go back and fill in the complete standards for each section then address each standards showing how you have met or are meeting the standard. The first thing is the heading of your page should read "Occupation and Client Centered Practitioner" then the first prompt would be "-Interacts effectively, both verbally and non-verbally, with individuals and groups from a wide range of social, emotional, cultural, and intellectual backgrounds in a variety of settings." Under that you provide your evidence and then go to the next prompt "Demonstrates cultural humility through actively seeking to become more self-aware and to become and more versed about culture and backgrounds different from one’s own." Address that prompt and so on throughout the entire PDE.

    2. Demonstrates- To first acknowledge your lack of knowledge on one's culture then go in research it is a great way of learning about culture. I feel that those that I have questions about certain things should as that person in a respectful way. Continue to respect the differences you might have with them but try to understand eachother others. Incorporates- Being aware of what a client might like and don't like. Find away to bring about those good things in a treatment for them. Know a client don't like to sing but like to dance would cause you to do a dancing activity that addresses there goal in desire.

      grammar is not consistent. You jump from present to past and future tense throughout this session. You are using singular and plural verbs interchangeably. examples: "know a client" instead on "Knowing a client" and "try to understand eachother others: which doesn't make sense

    1. Level I Competencies: Consistently- Being able to finish set assignment that needs to be done at a certain time. Also being respectful to educator, clients, or classmate.   - Contributes- In things like the debris we had to talk about how we felt and contribute to the discussion by telling our experience.    - Seeks- being able to analyses what the best decision for the person you're interacting with. This also applies to when you're in a group project in you are reliable for something you should use your best resources to get the best answer.  - Produces - Being able to use your written skills to express your thoughts as well as the discussion you have made or will make.   ​This competency is very important for an OT, you need to be able share your thoughts as well as express your feeling and the best way. I feel I will demonstrate these competencies in ways like class debriefs, discussion topics and evaluations on Simi case labs

      You have not addressed the standards in this area. Also as before you have fragments of sentences instead of full sentences in your responses. Your service log is one hour short of the 15 hours required for this term.

    1. - Seeks feedback and being able to understand the improvements you are recommended to better your performance and take accountability for them. Then being able to incorporate them in your life to better your outcomes. - Actively participates in being an extrovert in being a stature for others to lean on in create new ideas for the profession. Being part of group that incorporate change in the outcomes of the profession like AOTA,SOATA, and COTAD-Demonstrates self-directedness in empowering oneself to be able to find the necessary steps it takes to complete tasks, assignments, and responsibility. ​This competency is important for upholding the rights of others as well as demonstrating obsertivness. In this profession its important for a OT to be a direct but also functional leader that understands others and uses there voice to up lift other and take accountability for things.I plan on achieving this by doing activities like RKS,Merge Memphis groups, and level 1 field work Assignments.

      this entire page is a group of partial sentences that don't have clear meanings and do not address the prompts in a clear or concise manner. You haven't addressed the standards for any of your PDE areas. This entire document needs to be reworked according to the instructions you were provided
