Embarkation is the intensive three-week residential Foundations Institute during which I learned how to be a graduate student and the requirements for this five-year, self-directed master’s program. I began to read and research my chosen area (literacy) and aspect of interest (public policy). I practiced doing an annotated bibliography and a short literature review.

I also designed an individualized self-directed learning plan to guide me when I returned home which included:

  • an extensive reading list (100+ items)
  • learning narrative
  • description of learning intents
  • proposal for a practical research project 
  • profile of competencies and anticipated learning challenges.
