Educational Practices in Human Services Organizations

Beschreibung

Educational Practices in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMART(TM): A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation covers these HSO groups, both public and private, who have one main goal, to enhance human well-being. These organizations provide a variety of services for both children and adults, including mental health care and educational programs. With decreases in federal funding, many private HSOs have been created to supplement the void. To ensure adequate services to their patients, it is vital that HSOs adopt an effective model. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs. This book demonstrates how to develop an educational program within HSOs while adhering to state and federal guidelines. It then reviews various evidence-based instructional methodologies, including discrete trial training, errorless learning, and incidental teaching. Finally, the authors provide instructions and templates on how to record students' progress helping to drive data informed decisions.
