  7. Reflective Practice • “The capacity to reflect on action so as to engage in the process of continuous learning.” Donald Schon • The discipline of reviewing and renewing our work • Essential to professional practice

  8. Reflective Practice David Kolb, 1984

  9. Definition of Reflective Practice (York-Barr, et al, 2001)

  10. Three Characteristics of Reflection • Open-mindedness—willingness to listen to more than one side • Responsibility—careful consideration of the consequences of our actions • Wholeheartedness—commitment to seek every opportunity to learn --Dewey, 1958

  11. Goal Setting 101 What do we mean by Goal Setting? • Talking to family members about their lives, their strengths and needs • Observing relationships and interactions • Setting initial goals which reflect that information • Monitoring progress toward the goals • Supporting families in the process of meeting goals • Using goals as the centerpiece of decision-making in your work with families • Setting new goals as needed • Evaluation

  12. What are overall goals of all families? • Food, shelter, clothing, health care • Education and socialization • Provide love, support, emotional stability…a secure base, a holding environment

  13. Family Support: Why we get involved What is it? • Starts with the assumption that all families have strengths and all need support • Walking “with” families • “Seeing” them • Providing another pair of eyes for them to see themselves (their mirror)*

  14. Why do an IFSP? • To formalize and concretize the understanding of a family’s strengths • To enable a family to look clearly at its resources and needs • To enter into an agreement of work to do together • To keep all eyes on the prize

  15. What’s included in the IFSP? • Demographic and health information on family members • Individual and family strengths • Individual and family resources/supports • Family needs • Family goals • Specific plans to obtain goals • Evaluation, review, and re-setting of goals

  16. Readiness for Change Stages of Readiness (Prochaska and DiClemente) • Pre-Contemplation—Not considering change • Contemplation—Ambivalent about change • Preparation—Some experience with change/trying to change • Action—Practicing behavior, 3-6 mos. • Maintenance—Continued commitment to new behavior, 6 mos.-5 years • Relapse—Resumption of old behavior

  17. Small Group Activity Gather in groups of 2 or 3. Think about a goal you have for yourself professionally or personally. Discuss the stage of readiness at which you find yourself for that goal.

  18. Capture your Thoughts (York-Barr, et al, 2001)
