Currently I am entitled as an agile coach, but I still have a tons of things to learn and decades to experience to be really who i am currently. |
Currently I am creating a unique scrum master survey. The surveys unique because each question only has good answers. those are ranked however so there is good,better, even better, even more better, almost the best and probably best types. This will help the applicant to receive instant 4 other good options to be try out at her scrum teams. The goal is to improve and coach online via a survey tons of people to build better teams. For the SM patterns it is a great help to read the servant leader chapter. I am pretty sure that I will come back for some other stuff later. Cheers G |

I have just starting browsing Chapter 27 and it is full of ideas that could help me as I write grants to fund my community painting projects. I can see that the Community Tool Box is something that I will refer to often as a guide. I will also check out some of the books and articles in the bibliography for more in depth discussion. |

I am currently leading some peace work within our church. We are considering adopting a Just Peace designation within our denomination--UCC. We're hoping to become a valued, relevant peace resource and model for peaceful dialogue and engagement. Part of the work we're hoping to do is local peace and justice work--addressing needs within our community that frequently get overlooked for bigger, headline issues. I ran across your amazing web site when I was surfing around surveying some other community activist sites. Yours appears to be very practical, and accessible. Your tool box might be a big help. |
So far, we're not using it. I'm just getting acquainted and started. Thanks! |

I am not a community organizer by profession. But I am very interested in forming units within my community to help support folks and help us all to lift one another up. I live in a relatively small city in the United States. So I realize that we are well off compared to others around the globe, but we have a lot of internalized oppression. I'd like to help us get rid of that so that we can take full control of our community. |
I haven't read anything as yet, but I will read it and share it with others in the community. I expect that it will be useful in my work with my local church. |

To answer a discussion question, we are visiting this website. Q: Why is a needs assessment an important step in community intervention? Discuss some of the different methods that can be used to complete a needs assessment. Choose one of the examples listed under the Examples tab and summarize the information that was assessed from two community assessments. How did the two assessments you read about compare (discuss similarities and differences)? |

I'm a retired software developer with 10 years of experience in software process improvement and organizational change. I've gotten involved with a local group that is trying to save an old school that was donated to their town, because the town wants to make it "surplus". They'll give it to a non-profit, but the group hasn't been around long enough to establish itself that way. The local Grange has stepped in to be the non-profit, but they only have six members, and when they demonstrated what a Grange meeting was like, the other members of the group didn't like the ritual and structure. Lots of problems to deal with, and a deadline of November 1st to deal with. |
I'm going to tell the leaders of the group about your web site and encourage them to use your approach and tools. I don't know if that will happen, but I think it gives us a chance at establishing a relationship with a 501c3 that the town will approve of for the transfer. |

I have included the link to the Community Tool Box (CTB) as a resource for a college course entitled: "Issues in Research" which I am teaching this summer. I am assigning various sections of the CTB and asking them to read, summarize, and then reflect on what they have learned. The students in this class will move on to a 1 year group and community project and will need the skills, knowledge and experience to conduct a human service research project in their community with 2-3 other classmates. I also conduct review sessions in class in which the students share their reflections on what they have learned on their own from the CTB. |
