IECD-583 A Practitioner’s Toolkit: Reflective Practice and Techniques

4 semester credits


This course focuses on reflective practice and techniques. Effective work with infants, young children, and families, involves attunement, sensitivity, containment, reflective capacity, and empathy. However, for many professionals these skills and abilities still require development. Research indicates this is best achieved through reflective practice - the development of self-reflection and the awareness of the impact of self on others.
