Tuesday Tidbit: DEC Recommended Practice on Teaming and Collaboration

It's been a while since we've shared a Tuesday Tidbit with you!

Here's one from the DEC Recommended Practices With Embedded Examples document.

Strand: TEAMING AND COLLABORATION

TC2:
"Practitioners and families work together as a team to systematically and regularly exchange expertise, knowledge, and information to build team capacity and jointly solve problems, plan, and implement interventions.

Examples:

• An early childhood teacher participates in the child's monthly team meetings convened by the service coordinator to discuss progress and share ideas for supporting goals in the classroom setting. 
• A family childcare teacher spends a few minutes at pick-up and drop-off to exchange information about the child's performance with the family. 
• An itinerant teacher works with the classroom teacher to model and demonstrate a strategy to support a child's development and learning during outdoor play."

(Division for Early Childhood, 2016, p. 29)

Question for reflection: How do you and your team (including the family) exchange information to problem solve, plan, and implement interventions?
