This narrated demonstration, Making the Invisible Visible, highlights how intentional observation and responsive interaction can uncover the learning, communication, and participation opportunities that may otherwise go unnoticed in young children with developmental delays or disabilities. Designed to support First Steps providers, the training emphasizes family-centered, evidence-based practices that strengthen engagement during everyday routines and interactions. Through guided examples and reflection, viewers will explore strategies for recognizing subtle child cues, supporting caregiver-child relationships, and making meaningful developmental progress more visible within natural environments. For questions about this training please contact Dr. Katie Herron at kgherron@iu.edu.
Description of the video:
100:00:04,190 --> 00:00:07,810
Hello, we are going to
be spending the next
2
00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:10,370
60 minutes together
as part of the First
3
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:13,930
Steps topical training
series, offering
4
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:16,930
some information on
one particular coaching
5
00:00:16,930 --> 00:00:19,570
strategy called,
"Demonstration with Narration."
6
00:00:19,630 --> 00:00:21,590
This topical training
series is called,
7
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:23,690
"Making the Invisible
Visible: Demonstration
8
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,930
with Narration." And
today we're going
9
00:00:25,930 --> 00:00:28,510
to focus in on that
particular coaching
10
00:00:28,510 --> 00:00:32,950
strategy, wherein you,
the provider, verbally
11
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:35,690
describes what's
happening and why while
12
00:00:35,690 --> 00:00:37,850
you are modeling
something with the child.
13
00:00:37,850 --> 00:00:40,490
By talking about what
you are doing, you
14
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:42,750
are engaging the family
beyond just observing,
15
00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:44,370
and this connects
directly to how we
16
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:46,930
support caregiver
learning in First Steps.
17
00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:50,590
So why do we want to
make the invisible
18
00:00:50,590 --> 00:00:53,870
visible? When we make
our thinking visible,
19
00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:56,050
we're helping caregivers
understand not
20
00:00:56,050 --> 00:00:59,030
just what works, but
why you're doing it.
21
00:00:59,030 --> 00:01:01,310
And these outcomes
are what we're aiming
22
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:03,410
for in every visit. So
here are the outcomes:
23
00:01:03,410 --> 00:01:05,030
Increasing caregiver
engagement,
24
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:08,430
building caregiver
confidence and competence,
25
00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:11,530
building a common
shared language
26
00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:14,450
between you and
the caregiver, and
27
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:16,530
increasing carryover
between visits.
28
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:19,810
So which of these
do you feel like might
29
00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:21,750
be the hardest for
you to achieve?
30
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:23,510
I'll pause.
31
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:29,570
So First Steps
has adopted a
32
00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:31,550
coaching model
called Family Guided
33
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:33,090
Routines Based
Intervention,
34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,250
also called FGRBI. And
some of you may have
35
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:37,590
gone through the
professional development
36
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:39,910
sequence for this.
Others may have
37
00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:41,630
attended a webinar
here and there
38
00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:44,590
related to this FGRBI
coaching strategy.
39
00:01:45,010 --> 00:01:47,890
And all the strategies
listed on this
40
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:51,090
slide are coaching
strategies within FGRBI.
41
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:53,350
Today, you can see
we're focusing on just
42
00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:55,350
the one - Demonstration
with Narration.
43
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:57,750
And if you haven't
been trained in FGRBI,
44
00:01:57,750 --> 00:01:59,790
that's okay. What
we're going to talk
45
00:01:59,790 --> 00:02:01,990
about today can
absolutely stand alone.
46
00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:04,810
I'm going to pause
for just a moment so
47
00:02:04,810 --> 00:02:07,390
that you all as a
group can connect
48
00:02:07,390 --> 00:02:09,230
really quickly on
who has gone through
49
00:02:09,230 --> 00:02:11,900
the FGRBI PD sequence,
because those
50
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:13,530
folks in the room are
going to be really
51
00:02:13,530 --> 00:02:16,430
valuable resources
for you during this
52
00:02:16,430 --> 00:02:18,790
next hour conversation.
So I'll pause.
53
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:26,550
So Demonstration with
Narration reinforces
54
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:28,890
family-centered
approaches, which are
55
00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:31,570
exemplified by the DEC
recommended practices.
56
00:02:31,710 --> 00:02:34,010
Using Demonstration
with Narration directly
57
00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:36,370
supports these practices,
especially around
58
00:02:36,370 --> 00:02:38,850
family understanding
and capacity building.
59
00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:41,550
When we narrate what
we're doing and why,
60
00:02:41,550 --> 00:02:43,010
we're helping families
understand what
61
00:02:43,010 --> 00:02:45,810
supports their child's
development. Instead of
62
00:02:45,810 --> 00:02:47,790
wondering what the provider
is doing or drawing
63
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:49,290
assumptions about
what the provider is
64
00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:50,850
doing, they can clearly
see the connection
65
00:02:50,850 --> 00:02:53,350
between strategy and
outcome. This also
66
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:55,950
strengthens family
capacity building. Families
67
00:02:55,950 --> 00:02:58,070
move beyond just
observing, they're actually
68
00:02:58,070 --> 00:03:00,430
learning. The narration
makes the provider's
69
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:02,050
thinking visible,
which helps families
70
00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:04,030
begin to use these same
strategies in their
71
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:06,690
everyday routines. It
also builds confidence.
72
00:03:06,930 --> 00:03:09,270
Overall, this practice
shifts intervention
73
00:03:09,270 --> 00:03:11,690
from something providers
do to something
74
00:03:11,690 --> 00:03:13,710
families can understand
and use, which is
75
00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:16,040
at the heart of DEC
recommended practices.
76
00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:19,210
So these are
the ones we're
77
00:03:19,210 --> 00:03:21,030
focusing on in
the next hour.
78
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:24,010
So, let's reflect
for just a moment
79
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:25,670
before we dive into
what Demonstration
80
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:27,770
with Narration
looks like. In your
81
00:03:27,770 --> 00:03:30,010
recent visits, who
was doing most of
82
00:03:30,010 --> 00:03:32,430
the interaction, you
or the caregiver?
83
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:36,490
And as you talk about
that think about - Is
84
00:03:36,490 --> 00:03:39,010
that intentional? Did
you walk in intending
85
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:42,750
to structure it
that way? Or what
86
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:45,610
influences that
balance for you? Is it
87
00:03:45,610 --> 00:03:47,430
different from family
to family? And if so
88
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:49,790
what are the factors?
Is it different from
89
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:51,890
visit to visit, day
to day? What are the
90
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:54,250
factors that influence
that balance? Take a
91
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:57,370
few moments to talk
about that, I'll pause.
92
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:04,310
Here are a few of
the reasons that we
93
00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:07,490
hear, that sometimes
visits can shift to being
94
00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:09,010
more provider-led.
I'm not sure if any
95
00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:10,490
of these were the ones
that came up for you
96
00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:12,550
in your discussion but
some of the ones we
97
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:14,540
hear are that the
child was dysregulated.
98
00:04:15,790 --> 00:04:18,250
Maybe the caregiver
was dysregulated and/
99
00:04:18,250 --> 00:04:21,430
or overwhelmed. Maybe
time felt short
100
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:23,270
either for the family
or the provider and
101
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:25,230
you just felt rushed
and you felt like you
102
00:04:25,230 --> 00:04:26,730
you better just get
through it, right?
103
00:04:26,730 --> 00:04:28,850
There was no time for
a bunch of questions
104
00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:30,410
and answers or trying
to feel your way
105
00:04:30,410 --> 00:04:32,230
through a problem
-solving conversation.
106
00:04:32,670 --> 00:04:34,550
Providers might feel
pressure to help
107
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:37,450
immediately. Sometimes
we take on that expert
108
00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:39,550
cloak. Sometimes the
family expects us to,
109
00:04:39,550 --> 00:04:42,010
and sometimes we have
that in our own mind
110
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:44,630
about what is needed
of us and we really
111
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:47,950
want to fix versus
taking a step back. And
112
00:04:47,950 --> 00:04:49,550
then caregivers
sometimes are unsure of
113
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:52,390
what to do. They might
have unclear expectations
114
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:54,750
or they might not
feel super confident
115
00:04:54,750 --> 00:04:56,590
about their ability
to participate if
116
00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:58,130
they understand that
that's what you want them
117
00:04:58,130 --> 00:05:00,090
to do. So those are
some of the reasons
118
00:05:00,090 --> 00:05:02,270
that we hear, and they're
very real reasons.
119
00:05:02,270 --> 00:05:03,890
So I want to be sure
that you understand
120
00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:05,710
that this isn't about
doing anything wrong.
121
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:07,630
This is simply about
building awareness
122
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:09,870
so that you can start
to reflect on, "Hey,
123
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:11,630
how was that visit? Was
that a more provider
124
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:13,630
-led or family-led
visiting?" Why might
125
00:05:13,630 --> 00:05:16,270
that have been the
case in that situation?
126
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:19,130
So, let's jump into
127
00:05:19,130 --> 00:05:20,630
Demonstration
with Narration.
128
00:05:20,890 --> 00:05:22,750
Demonstration with
Narration is identified
129
00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:24,350
when the interventionist
takes the
130
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:25,950
lead in demonstrating
an intervention
131
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:28,010
strategy with the child
while the caregiver
132
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:30,310
observes. In
particular, the
133
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:32,590
interventionist verbally
sets up the Demonstration
134
00:05:32,590 --> 00:05:34,370
by explaining
to the caregiver
135
00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:36,870
what she's doing with
the child before,
136
00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:39,770
during, or after
the Demonstration.
137
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:43,490
So, let's do a couple
examples. A typical
138
00:05:43,490 --> 00:05:46,150
interaction might
involve, if we're working
139
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:49,050
on getting dressed,
provider holds up
140
00:05:49,050 --> 00:05:51,630
a shirt, child stands
and maybe moves
141
00:05:51,630 --> 00:05:53,330
towards it a little bit.
Provider says, "Let's
142
00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:55,630
get your shirt on,"
and pauses and then
143
00:05:55,630 --> 00:05:58,290
helps guide the arm
in and says, "Good job."
144
00:05:58,910 --> 00:06:02,090
And if that's the
modeling, then what
145
00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:03,930
a caregiver might
take from that is,
146
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:05,860
"Okay, so he needs
help getting dressed.
147
00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:08,370
Adult got involved
pretty quickly.
148
00:06:08,370 --> 00:06:09,770
They did a lot. I
should probably do
149
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:11,670
it just like that
provider did it."
150
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:14,850
For a Demonstration
with Narration,
151
00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:16,990
we're helping that
provider or to that
152
00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:19,410
caregiver to narrow in
a little bit on what
153
00:06:19,410 --> 00:06:21,950
the provider wants
them to notice. So
154
00:06:21,950 --> 00:06:23,330
the provider might
hold up the shirt.
155
00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:25,330
Provider might say
to the caregiver, "I'm
156
00:06:25,330 --> 00:06:26,570
going to hold the shirt
here and wait just
157
00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:28,790
a few seconds and see
what they do." Pause.
158
00:06:29,170 --> 00:06:31,190
"I'm watching to see
if he starts to move
159
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,290
his arms." You're
drawing the caregiver's
160
00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:35,190
attention to what
you're focused on.
161
00:06:35,230 --> 00:06:37,290
Child begins to move
their arm maybe just
162
00:06:37,290 --> 00:06:38,830
a little bit. "There,
do you see how
163
00:06:38,830 --> 00:06:41,030
he's starting to push
his arm through? Now
164
00:06:41,030 --> 00:06:42,870
I'll just help him
finish so we feel
165
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:45,630
successful." So now
they know that the key
166
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:48,750
was pausing. The key
was watching to see
167
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:51,350
if that child
initiated the movement.
168
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:55,030
And then you
finished, provided
169
00:06:55,030 --> 00:06:56,530
that scaffolding
and support.
170
00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:58,710
So let's try another
one. A typical
171
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,470
interaction might be
a provider pushing
172
00:07:00,470 --> 00:07:02,450
a car back and forth
and says, "My turn,"
173
00:07:02,450 --> 00:07:04,270
while they're doing
it. And then the
174
00:07:04,270 --> 00:07:06,350
provider pauses and
looks at the child.
175
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:08,770
Child looks at the
car, then reaches.
176
00:07:09,020 --> 00:07:10,410
Provider rolls
the car to the
177
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:11,710
child and says,
"Your turn."
178
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:14,470
So, if we're just
modeling what the
179
00:07:14,470 --> 00:07:16,390
caregiver might
think is okay, so turn
180
00:07:16,390 --> 00:07:19,010
taking, it's
important to say, "My turn,
181
00:07:19,010 --> 00:07:21,690
your turn" and it
looks like the adult
182
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:24,150
is pretty much
leading this activity.
183
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:27,910
With Demonstration with
Narration the provider
184
00:07:27,910 --> 00:07:29,950
might say, "I'm going
to model turn taking,
185
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:31,690
I'm going to take a
turn and then I'm going
186
00:07:31,690 --> 00:07:34,030
to pause." So they
push the car and then
187
00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:36,510
they pause, now I'm
waiting to see if he shows
188
00:07:36,510 --> 00:07:38,330
me he wants a turn, so
we're explaining to
189
00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:40,030
the caregiver what
you're waiting for, that
190
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:43,230
the pause is important,
and what you're
191
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:46,110
looking for. Child then
makes whatever it is,
192
00:07:46,110 --> 00:07:48,130
however that child
communicates, eye contact,
193
00:07:48,130 --> 00:07:51,190
reaches, verbalizes.
"There, he's showing
194
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:53,750
me it's his turn by,"
and then you say how
195
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:56,010
that child is
communicating. You roll the
196
00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:58,330
car to the child, I'm
following his lead.
197
00:07:58,330 --> 00:08:00,450
So you're clarifying
that actually you're
198
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:03,070
following the child's
lead in this and you're
199
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:04,990
helping the child
or the caregiver to
200
00:08:04,990 --> 00:08:07,450
start to identify what
that child is doing to
201
00:08:07,450 --> 00:08:09,770
communicate, both
really important things.
202
00:08:10,030 --> 00:08:12,530
Let me pause for just
a second. I'm going
203
00:08:12,530 --> 00:08:16,790
to stop sharing and
I'm going to go over to
204
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:20,930
the FGRBI website,
which we'll give you
205
00:08:20,930 --> 00:08:23,650
the link for this at
the end. You can also
206
00:08:23,650 --> 00:08:25,570
follow the link up
here. It's just FGRBI.com/coaching-training-module.
207
00:08:29,530 --> 00:08:32,670
And they have some great
video demonstrations
208
00:08:32,670 --> 00:08:34,290
here. I just thought
I would show you
209
00:08:34,290 --> 00:08:39,950
one, and then we
will move on. So, here is
210
00:08:39,950 --> 00:08:47,750
Jade, Kennedy and Dad.
"Ball,
211
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:52,770
or the rings?"
212
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:57,170
"The rings, the rings."
213
00:08:57,790 --> 00:09:04,090
So when she has my
actual spot reaching
214
00:09:04,090 --> 00:09:07,190
just label whatever
it is that she was
215
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:09,370
reaching for - the
rings, the ball,
216
00:09:09,370 --> 00:09:11,350
the book, whatever
it is she's reaching.
217
00:09:14,690 --> 00:09:17,530
Okay. Pretty simple
demonstration. They
218
00:09:17,530 --> 00:09:20,030
had a couple other
videos on there. So
219
00:09:20,030 --> 00:09:21,670
if you're looking
for other videos,
220
00:09:21,670 --> 00:09:27,610
feel free to go check
those out as well.
221
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:31,910
I'm going to
get us back to
222
00:09:32,350 --> 00:09:34,110
the slide deck here.
223
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:36,630
So, one of the things
that you're probably
224
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:37,950
thinking is, I don't
know if this is going
225
00:09:37,950 --> 00:09:40,070
to fly with all my
families, or I don't
226
00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:42,030
know that this is going
to be super comfortable
227
00:09:42,030 --> 00:09:44,510
for me to expect
from my families. So
228
00:09:44,510 --> 00:09:46,250
let's talk about
expectations for a minute,
229
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:48,650
because I do think
that there's room for
230
00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:50,530
work here. And we're
also offering a lesson
231
00:09:50,530 --> 00:09:52,150
plan to service
coordinators and ed team
232
00:09:52,150 --> 00:09:55,710
members around
expectations, because if
233
00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:58,850
we don't explain well
what First Steps is
234
00:09:58,850 --> 00:10:00,810
and what it isn't from
the very beginning,
235
00:10:00,810 --> 00:10:03,130
what do you suppose
families naturally do.
236
00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:12,610
I'll ask for you all
to chat about that.
237
00:10:13,710 --> 00:10:15,010
Generally, they're
going to step
238
00:10:15,010 --> 00:10:16,410
back and observe,
right? Or expect
239
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:18,410
us to lead because
we're experts.
240
00:10:19,330 --> 00:10:21,650
So if we want
to get better at
241
00:10:21,650 --> 00:10:22,830
talking about
expectations with
242
00:10:22,830 --> 00:10:24,210
families, we need
to think about when
243
00:10:24,210 --> 00:10:25,750
those opportunities
might occur.
244
00:10:25,830 --> 00:10:27,170
Clearly, service
coordinators
245
00:10:27,170 --> 00:10:28,390
have a wonderful
opportunity,
246
00:10:28,390 --> 00:10:30,250
which is right
at the beginning
247
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:33,190
when they first meet
those families. Ed
248
00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:34,590
team members have an
opportunity during
249
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:36,530
the assessment process,
and then we come
250
00:10:36,530 --> 00:10:38,110
in. So we can,
from the very first
251
00:10:38,110 --> 00:10:40,950
visit, set those
expectations. and we'll
252
00:10:40,950 --> 00:10:42,690
give you a chance to
kind of think through
253
00:10:42,690 --> 00:10:44,310
and share some of
the things that work
254
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:45,650
well for you because
I'm sure you're all
255
00:10:45,650 --> 00:10:47,590
doing this. But are
we doing it with
256
00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:51,170
that mind for full
caregiver engagement?
257
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:53,290
And we have to remember
that this isn't
258
00:10:53,290 --> 00:10:55,470
a one-time conversation
because that's
259
00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:57,150
just not how people
take in information,
260
00:10:57,630 --> 00:10:59,690
particularly overwhelmed
parents of young
261
00:10:59,690 --> 00:11:01,990
children who are
starting a new system.
262
00:11:01,990 --> 00:11:03,730
So we might wanna
mention at the start of
263
00:11:03,730 --> 00:11:05,070
every session when
we're kind of laying
264
00:11:05,070 --> 00:11:06,830
out what that session
is gonna look like.
265
00:11:06,950 --> 00:11:10,330
Or it might be that we
mention it at certain
266
00:11:10,330 --> 00:11:12,090
pivotal moments. So
if we notice that a
267
00:11:12,090 --> 00:11:14,940
provider was particularly,
a visit is particularly
268
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:17,190
provider-led, maybe
that's when we say,
269
00:11:17,190 --> 00:11:19,310
you know, let me step
back and talk with you
270
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:22,190
just a little bit
about how this, I want
271
00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:24,700
this to work or how we
need to work together.
272
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:28,250
Or if the family is
resisting, that might
273
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:30,290
be a good time to
kind of revisit that.
274
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:32,790
So we want to
make sure that
275
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:34,470
that's an ongoing
conversation.
276
00:11:35,050 --> 00:11:37,290
We also want to make
sure, not that we're
277
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:38,630
going to hand them
a handout with the
278
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:40,830
First Steps mission,
but we want to make
279
00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:42,510
sure that you know the
First Steps mission.
280
00:11:42,510 --> 00:11:45,490
So it says, "To partner
with families to
281
00:11:45,490 --> 00:11:47,430
provide early intervention
services for infants
282
00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:49,430
and toddlers with
developmental delays or
283
00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:51,510
diagnosed conditions.
So the very first
284
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:53,910
words are, "To partner
with families." It doesn't
285
00:11:53,910 --> 00:11:56,030
say to provide early
intervention services.
286
00:11:56,030 --> 00:11:58,030
It says to partner
with families too.
287
00:11:58,250 --> 00:12:00,450
And then the goal is:
"To help families ensure
288
00:12:00,450 --> 00:12:02,070
their children
receive services to
289
00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:04,470
maximize their development,
learning, and future
290
00:12:04,470 --> 00:12:07,450
success." So again,
families don't
291
00:12:07,450 --> 00:12:09,630
automatically understand
this unless we explain
292
00:12:09,630 --> 00:12:11,690
it to them. And it
doesn't mean we need
293
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:13,410
to read it to them or
hand them something
294
00:12:13,410 --> 00:12:15,190
on a sheet of paper, but
we need to understand
295
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:16,490
it enough that we
can think about how
296
00:12:16,490 --> 00:12:18,450
do we translate this
into something that's
297
00:12:18,450 --> 00:12:20,070
going to work for
the families we're
298
00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:22,650
serving and that we're
all on the same page.
299
00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:25,510
So some ways to do
that. These are some
300
00:12:25,510 --> 00:12:27,250
example prompts and
then we would love to
301
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:30,550
pause and hear from you
about what works well
302
00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:32,390
for you for setting
these expectations.
303
00:12:32,410 --> 00:12:34,890
Some example prompts
might be, "I'll help
304
00:12:34,890 --> 00:12:36,750
you learn strategies
to use throughout the
305
00:12:36,750 --> 00:12:39,290
week so progress
continues between visits."
306
00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:41,690
"Watching is helpful
at first, but I'll
307
00:12:41,690 --> 00:12:43,290
ask you to try the
strategies while I'm
308
00:12:43,290 --> 00:12:45,470
here too. That will
help you feel confident
309
00:12:45,470 --> 00:12:47,270
about using them
when I'm not around."
310
00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:49,610
Let's watch how
this usually goes,
311
00:12:49,610 --> 00:12:51,270
then we'll try a
few ideas together.
312
00:12:51,890 --> 00:12:53,710
I'm going to show
something quickly while
313
00:12:53,710 --> 00:12:55,810
I explain it, then
I'll have you try.
314
00:12:55,810 --> 00:12:57,490
So these are just
ways of setting
315
00:12:57,490 --> 00:12:59,330
the stage for
families to know that,
316
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:01,190
"Oh, okay, I'm not
just observing.
317
00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:03,170
I'm a little more
engaged than that."
318
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:05,570
There's an expectation
for me to get
319
00:13:05,570 --> 00:13:09,010
involved. I'm not
overstepping or getting in
320
00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:12,630
the way of the expert
if I'm involved.
321
00:13:12,930 --> 00:13:14,650
And let's pause
for a few moments
322
00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:16,290
and see, you know,
which of these feel
323
00:13:16,290 --> 00:13:17,570
natural to you
or what are the
324
00:13:17,570 --> 00:13:19,190
things that have
worked well for you?
325
00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:23,490
OK,
326
00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:26,410
now we're going to take
some time to practice,
327
00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:28,610
and this is going to
be kind of the moment
328
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:30,550
where we get to really
think this through
329
00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:32,790
and how this feels and
what's uncomfortable
330
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:35,050
about it or what seems
to work well or what
331
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:36,470
are things that you've
been doing that maybe
332
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:38,370
you just want to add
a little bit on to.
333
00:13:38,490 --> 00:13:40,630
So for this activity,
you're going to work
334
00:13:40,630 --> 00:13:42,230
in small groups.
Hopefully you have enough
335
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:43,950
folks that you can get
into groups of three.
336
00:13:44,150 --> 00:13:45,770
You're going to
choose one scenario
337
00:13:45,770 --> 00:13:47,390
from the practice
handout. So your
338
00:13:47,390 --> 00:13:49,090
facilitator should
have a practice handout
339
00:13:49,090 --> 00:13:50,890
that they can hand
out at this time.
340
00:13:51,250 --> 00:13:53,550
As a group, you're
going to choose one
341
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,010
scenario, and you
guys, if you want to
342
00:13:56,010 --> 00:13:58,750
switch scenarios as you
switch roles, that's
343
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:00,150
fine, or you can
stick with the same
344
00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:02,070
one, however you want
to do it is fine.
345
00:14:02,390 --> 00:14:04,390
Choose one thing to
focus on, though, because
346
00:14:04,390 --> 00:14:06,030
these are scenarios
where you could have
347
00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:08,030
10 different strategies,
but the idea is
348
00:14:08,030 --> 00:14:09,790
you want to demonstrate
something, so pick
349
00:14:09,790 --> 00:14:12,150
one concrete strategy
that you want to
350
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:15,410
demonstrate as part of
this brief example. and
351
00:14:15,410 --> 00:14:17,930
then talk through with
your group what that
352
00:14:17,930 --> 00:14:19,830
Demonstration with
Narration would sound
353
00:14:19,830 --> 00:14:21,870
like. You're not acting
out the whole visit.
354
00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:23,430
You're just focusing
on what you would
355
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:25,550
say before, during,
and after this one
356
00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:29,150
particular practice that
you're demonstrating.
357
00:14:29,630 --> 00:14:32,090
And then you'll swap
and the facilitator will
358
00:14:32,090 --> 00:14:33,490
guide you through
all of this. And then
359
00:14:33,490 --> 00:14:34,890
you'll have some time
at the end to kind of
360
00:14:34,890 --> 00:14:37,570
talk through what that
experience was like.
361
00:14:37,570 --> 00:14:39,390
What did the provider
say to make the thinking
362
00:14:39,390 --> 00:14:41,490
clearer? What did the
caregiver understand
363
00:14:41,490 --> 00:14:44,690
about the strategy
because of the narration,
364
00:14:44,690 --> 00:14:46,880
the explanation? So
I'm going to let the
365
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,970
facilitator take it from
here and I'll pause.
366
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:54,690
Awesome. Thank you
for doing that.
367
00:14:54,690 --> 00:14:56,010
Thank you for
engaging and having
368
00:14:56,010 --> 00:14:58,170
some hopefully
good conversation.
369
00:14:58,710 --> 00:15:01,450
What we want you to
think about as we wrap
370
00:15:01,450 --> 00:15:04,310
up here is that what
you practiced just
371
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:06,390
now is part of a larger
coaching process.
372
00:15:06,390 --> 00:15:08,630
And I'm showing you
those FGRBI coaching
373
00:15:08,630 --> 00:15:10,470
strategies again, just
to remind you that
374
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:13,110
Demonstration with
Narration can stand alone
375
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:14,840
and you can take
this and use this
376
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,390
regardless of where you
are in your coaching
377
00:15:16,390 --> 00:15:18,810
journey. But there are
other pieces that go
378
00:15:18,810 --> 00:15:21,410
along with it naturally.
So just wanted
379
00:15:21,410 --> 00:15:24,210
to be sure you kind
of kept that context.
380
00:15:24,530 --> 00:15:26,810
And then a final
reflection as you wrap
381
00:15:26,810 --> 00:15:29,630
up, whenever we do this
type of a training,
382
00:15:29,630 --> 00:15:31,310
we like to pause
for a second and
383
00:15:31,310 --> 00:15:33,550
have you think about
what's one or two
384
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:35,450
things that you could
take away and throw
385
00:15:35,450 --> 00:15:37,550
into a session later
today or tomorrow.
386
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:39,910
Maybe it's a
phrase around how
387
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:41,890
you explain
caregiver engagement.
388
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:44,890
Maybe it's a phrase
or a way that you're
389
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:46,890
going to try Demonstration
with Narration
390
00:15:47,010 --> 00:15:49,210
or a particular family
that you're going
391
00:15:49,210 --> 00:15:51,630
to explore and reflect
a little bit more on
392
00:15:51,630 --> 00:15:53,710
about why they are
so provider-led and
393
00:15:53,710 --> 00:15:55,590
what you might be able
to do to move that.
394
00:15:55,590 --> 00:15:57,530
So if anyone, if you'll
just take a moment
395
00:15:57,530 --> 00:16:00,130
to think about that
and if anyone's willing
396
00:16:00,130 --> 00:16:01,870
to share, the
facilitator will guide
397
00:16:01,870 --> 00:16:04,110
that and I'll pause
and then we'll wrap up.
398
00:16:07,630 --> 00:16:10,950
Okay, finally we've
got a survey link
399
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:14,190
that we're going to
be popping into the
400
00:16:14,250 --> 00:16:16,830
well if if we're live
we'll pop it into
401
00:16:16,830 --> 00:16:19,210
the chat but what
we'll do is we will
402
00:16:19,210 --> 00:16:21,370
share that with your
facilitator so that
403
00:16:21,370 --> 00:16:22,970
they can provide
that to anyone who is
404
00:16:22,970 --> 00:16:26,090
in the room, coaching
information just
405
00:16:26,090 --> 00:16:27,470
want to be sure that
you're aware that
406
00:16:27,470 --> 00:16:29,210
there's information
on the new cohort the
407
00:16:29,210 --> 00:16:31,510
new PD sequence for
FGRBI so if you're
408
00:16:31,510 --> 00:16:33,350
interested in coaching
you can check that
409
00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:35,320
out or reach out to
Katherine Hargreaves.
410
00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:38,270
I also have the link
there for that coaching
411
00:16:38,270 --> 00:16:40,050
training module
where you can look at
412
00:16:40,050 --> 00:16:42,350
some more of those
videos. And then we have
413
00:16:42,350 --> 00:16:45,090
some great resources
on our website around
414
00:16:45,090 --> 00:16:48,270
talking with families
about First Steps.
415
00:16:48,730 --> 00:16:50,250
And we will be
sharing those with
416
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:51,390
service coordinators
and ed team
417
00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:52,830
members as well, but
wanted to be sure
418
00:16:52,830 --> 00:16:54,690
that you had access
to them also.
419
00:16:54,770 --> 00:16:56,830
Thanks for being here.
Thanks for joining
420
00:16:56,830 --> 00:16:58,230
us for this hour
of professional
421
00:16:58,230 --> 00:17:00,490
development, and hope
you have a great day.
