1. Video - Performance Checklists for Facilitating Practitioner Use of DEC Recommended Practices
A short video (runtime 9:25 minutes) from the ECTA Center's recent webinar on Performance Checklists for Facilitating Practitioner Use of DEC Recommended Practices is now available online. The performance checklists are intended for practitioners (and leaders where noted) to increase their understanding and use of the DEC Recommended Practices in Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education and for self-evaluation of one's use of the practices. They have been released as DRAFTS for Field Review. Feedback can be shared via discussion opportunities with peers and/or a painless survey.
