Springfield Practicum
Ending Reflection Assignment
The last reflection activity for this practicum is designed to capture your thoughts
on your development as a planning professional, as well as your reflections on the two
substantive areas of the practicum; economic development, and community development.
The first part of the reflection is to name 5 critical moments in each of the
following areas:
1. Those moments that shaped your understanding of community economic
development

minority neighborhood
3. Those moments that shaped your view of yourself as a planning professional
By one week past Session 27 hand in a document that list all of the critical moments in the
