Activity Directions
STEP 1
Choose one of the options below to continue using
the simulations in this module to support your family
engagement work. You can return to these activities
repeatedly for diferent experiences as many times as
you would like to deepen your practice.
Option 1: Intentionally make choices throughout the
simulation you feel aren't the best options; what do you
notice? Relect on:
a. Your personal and cultural perspectives
b. The provider's individual and cultural
perspectives
c. What you discovered and how it might
inluence your relationship with this provider if
you worked with them
d. What you would do to re-engage with this
provider based on what you learned
Option 2: Role-play with a partner what happens next
in the simulation scenario. One partner can take the
role of the provider, and the other can take the role of
the supervisor.
a. Select a strategy and tool to try.
b. Try out the strategy and tool.
c. Relect on what happened and what you
discovered.
Option 3: Work with the simulation and pause each
time the provider in the simulation relects.
a. Journal your own relections about what is
happening at those times.
b. Review your relections and identify how you
will use what you discover to inform your own
work with others.
