The SRV monograph includes a useful chart laying out categories of SRV action implications that can help us think about how to implement SRV, with an eye towards helping societally devalued people to have greater access to the ‘good things of life.’ The chart is on pages 103-105 in the 2014 edition of the SRV monograph (4th expanded edition). The content of the chart is also discussed at leadership level SRV workshops.
The chart is divided into action implication strategies on the level of:
1 an individual person
2 an individual’s primary social system (e.g., family or friends)
3 an individual’s secondary social system (e.g., workplace, gym, church)
4 the larger society
At each level, we can think of action implications related to:
- image enhancement (with an eye towards societally valued roles)
- competency enhancement (with an eye towards societally valued roles)
The following chart does not replicate the full chart in the SRV monograph, but selectively shares a few examples in each category simply as a way to encourage further discussion on this implementation issue. I strongly encourage you to look at the full chart.
| IMAGE | COMPETENCY | |
| PERSON | age appropriateness
culturally valued analog
|
relevance and potency
relationships forming helpful habits |
| PRIMARY SOCIAL SYSTEM | settings
role models and imagery juxtaposition |
role modeling related to competency enhancement |
| INTERMEDIATE SOCIAL SYSTEM | personal social integration and valued social participation
model coherency |
setting access
demanding settings model coherency |
| LARGER SOCIETY | attitude shaping
education funding patterns positive media portrayals public modeling of positive attitudes |
laws
public settings staff training funding of settings that facilitate competency enhancement |
In light of this four-fold framework, what implementation examples and strategies can you think of? Please respond to this post and share:
- examples of SRV implementation, and let us know where they fall within this framework described above.
- examples of other potential implementation strategies within this framework. Draw on the 10 themes of and for SRV as well as the 42 PASSING ratings.
