Module 4 Pre-Assessment
As always, do your best on this formative assessment.  Read the feedback you get on each question and it will help you as you go through the module.

Module 4 Lesson 1 Notes - Check Your Knowledge
Lesson 1 is "Integrity - Is It in Your Character?"  The notes include the following topics:  Ethics, Respect, Wisdom, Discipline, Equality, Equity, and Commitment.  Read the directions before you start notes so you know if you need to screenshot or turn in your guided notes.  Remember if you encounter tech issues, enable content and clear your cache first.

Module 4 Lesson 1 Practice - Got Integrity? 

This activity will help you get beyond your overview definition of integrity and help you explore the "meat" of your understanding. For each integrity principle, offer a leadership example that shows your understanding of the principle. Your example should be a specific action/behavior of a leader.  Then explain the example and how it relates to that principle. Review the example at the top of the template for clarification.

• Be sure to use the lesson notes to help you complete your template. Be sure all of your principles come from the lesson. Those principles include Ethics, Respect, Discipline, Wisdom, Commitment, Equality, Equity.
• Be sure to offer specific examples of how a leader practices every principle.  Fully explain each action/behavior - if it takes more than 1-2 sentences, use more than 1-2 sentences. 
• Be detailed - offer specific actions and behaviors that you feel show each integrity principle. Your job is to communicate your understanding of integrity and how integrity is central to being an effective leader.
