Just for Me
Just for Me provides an opportunity for you to take a step back from the content and apply it to your own professional practice. The activity below is presented in three parts:
- Part 1: You will learn about a specific child and be asked to take notes about her skills/behaviors.
- Part 2: You will use that information to classify her skills/behaviors as age-expected (AE), immediate foundational (IF), and foundational (F).
- Part 3: You will use the decision tree to determine an outcome rating for the child.
