Observe and/or participate in an IFSP or IEP meeting (age matching the practicum level). This is referred to as Assessment Experience 2 for infant/toddler and preschool, and is included as part of the Primary Practicum PBA on p. 37.
- Document your experience completing the IFSP or IEP summary sheet. Do not include a copy of the actual IEP/IFSP.
- Complete a follow up interview with a family member about their experience. Document this by including the questions you asked and the answers they provided (if not possible to interview a family member, include just the list of questions you would have asked).
- Write a self-reflection about the process. What would you do the same and differently the next time you facilitated a staffing? If you were mainly an observer, critically reflect on the actions of the team members who facilitated, especially related to communication with and meaningful participation of families as full team members.
- Analyze the evaluation process and procedures based on DEC Recommended Practices (2014). You will want to list each RP you observed and then write a narrative about what you observed and how this is aligned to the RP (be specific and thorough in this section).
- Submit under "Assessment PBA" in LiveText for Infant/Toddler or Preschool, "Primary Practicum PBA" for Primary.
