A black line icon of eight figures seated around a round table, with a square and a short slash on its surface, sits on the left of a white title slide. On the right, a pale green rounded bar holds the large title 'Advanced Seminar I,' with 'Fall 2026 Week 11 for SOWK 590' below it and 'Jacob Campbell, Ph.D. LICSW at Heritage University' in the bottom left corner.

A white presentation slide with thin gray text in two columns, showing a plan for the session. The left column, titled Agenda, lists Plan for week 11, SLED: Cultural Competence in Practice, Mindfulness activity, and Practice Learning Reflection Group. The right column, titled Learning Objectives, has three bullets: Students consider cultural competence in practice. Students will actively practice a mindfulness activity. Students will recognize peers' shared experiences in their practicum and use the group as a method for sharing and problem-solving.

A white presentation slide titled 'Midcourse Feedback' shows two text columns. The left, headed 'Things you all said you are learning:', lists growth points and ends with the quote 'That I can do anything I put my mind to.' The right, headed 'People Like:', lists group discussions, mindfulness exercises, the reflective journal, and sitevisits and feedback. A bottom note reads 'Problems: ELC.'

A title slide on a white background with a gold label reading 'Student Led Discussion' above the large gray title 'Cultural Competence in Practice.' Beneath the title, the subtitle 'Community Organizing and Activism' is struck through with a horizontal line.

A black-and-white line drawing of a sea turtle covered in intricate mandala-style patterns sits at center on a white slide, beside the title 'Coloring Mindfully' and the highlighted line 'Spend Time Coloring the Mandala.' On the left, 'Turtle Technique' introduces four bullets: 'When something happens, stop,' 'Go into your shell and take three deep breaths,' 'Consider possible solutions,' and 'Engage in the solution.'

A presentation slide titled 'Practice Learning Reflection Group' sits on a white background, with its text presenting the group's format. The left side shows the 'Group Check-in Question: Give three adjectives that describe how your practicum experience is going,' followed by 'Practicum Discussion' bullets: discuss things going on at your practicums, explore client needs and group problem-solving, and share about the work you are doing with your clients. A dark gray rounded panel on the right lists 'Group Norms': be respectful of each other, approach our dialogue with an open mind, engage and fully participate, and keep our clients' information confidential.
