Assignment: Executive Summary and Reflection
Overview:
The purpose of the executive summary is to hone skills in reflection and evaluation, apply supporting literature, synthesize and summarizing readings in a clear concise manner. A reflection differs from an executive summary in that the “now what” of the reflection is pertinent to the writer; the now what of the executive summary is pertinent to others as well as the writer. The Executive Summary should be no longer than the equivalent of two pages double-spaced, with references included.
An executive summary is quite simply a summary of summaries. In other words, an executive summary provides a concise summary of each of your assigned chapters. More specifically, it should communicate the key points/insights/findings/suggestions from the following chapters:
1. Introduction
2. Analysis (explain/dissect)
3. Recommendations
4. Implementation
5. Reflection

Related Question(s) |
|
What? |
What did I learn/what was the chapter about/what is important? Include ideas (not quotes) from the chapter. |
|
So What? |
Why is this information important to the graduate candidate (you) and the special educator? |
|
What Else? |
What else is important related to this information? Use another reference to give an additional perspective. |
|
Now What? |
What implications does this information have for graduate candidate, special educators, and others (i.e., parents, other educators, medical staff, etc.)? |
Executive Summary Attributes:
1. The executive summary should be able to stand independently as an informative document. In other words, I should be able to grasp your broad summary without having to read the full chapter. The executive summary provides a summary of the entire chapter(s).
2. Aim to make your executive summary as easy to read and digest as possible. Explain any technical concepts, avoid jargon and explain acronyms before using them.
3. Keep in mind this is a brief (2-page) document written in APA Format.
a. Present only the most important information (key insights, recommendations, etc.)
b. Write concisely – i.e. with brevity and completeness.
c. Do not include headings, citations, or bulleted/numbered lists in your executive summary. These visual components tend to use a lot of space.
4. In your reflection, you may consider the following:
a. What were your key learnings? What were your ah-ha moments?
b. What is different in the “real world” as opposed to what is stated in the text? I.e. how has your actual understanding, behavior and/or approach to “X” changed if any?
c. What are the benefits and/or disadvantages of this change, if any?
