For my project I would like to create a visual presentation tailored for companies and schools that could use improvement on their guidelines regarding minority students. So many environments lack the proper knowledge on how to elevate and incorporate the minority individuals and fail to make these communities supportive towards their success. With my presentation I would provide a list of ways to incorporate minority voices and use their backgrounds and individual skills as valuable assets. I would make them more aware of how to make each space more friendly and what actions should be taken when a minority feels misrepresented or undervalued in the workplace. In a school environment I would provide methods on how to forgo racial profiling and stereotypes against minority students. New methods should be laid out for recruiting minority students into the gifted programs and they should feel encouraged, not deterred from completing school. Minority students should be challenged to succeed in school and they should have more resources for reaching out to individuals when they feel they are being discriminated against. I did some research on companies that provide learning opportunities to minorities with specific interests and I feel incorporating some of that into my project will provide establishments with organizations tailored towards minority success.
Writing and organizational cultures
You’ve identified a couple of pretty distinct and disparate audiences here (schools vs. companies). I would urge you to focus on one particular segment, so that you can effectively tailor your discussion to that group and their needs and interests. It would be difficult to address the needs of both groups in one presentation.
Once you’ve determined which segment you want to target, then think about the most effective platforms/tools for reaching that group. Are you thinking about something like a video? a PowerPoint presentation? Keep in mind that in a Ppt, you can incorporate narration or speaker notes into the file itself, so that it more closely mimics an in-person presentation (in which the speaker does more than just read from the slides or leave the slides to speak for themselves).
