Practitioner Development


SHORT TAKES

The below material is provided to further assist you with your professional self-development.  The videos are short training scenarios designed to continue practitioner development by providing information on positive and/or negative behaviors in a "what now" scenario and potential courses of action. The viewer is presented with a situation to consider and options on how to proceed.  These real life scenarios can also be used to generate conversations at the team level by using the associated facilitation guide to walk small groups through the situation to discuss possible remedies.  This material is not part of any formal course curriculum and no educational credit or completion certificates are provided.
