Re: Assessment Training



Michelle....I do daily and weekly and monthly "assessments"  Verbal communications are essential, I've discovered.  The more communication the better the plans work out.  Encouragement does wonders and focusing on the strengths of an individual situation while rebuilding the weaknesses also helps.  Blessings/B

Subject: Assessment Training

I am going to be doing a solution focused training focusing on assessments. The focus I was concentrating on was being positive and strength based - at each phase of the assessment process. Our agency focuses on helping families and children overcome crisis through community and residential services.

 

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good research papers that talk about the importance of assessments and being strength based in the assessment phase. Thanks in advance.
