Important Information

Instructions

Prepare to have a recorded Plan B conversation with someone who has exhibited challenging behaviors. In advance of the conversation, complete a CPS APT, a Plan B Organizer, and have an authorized adult sign a consent form. Once you have recorded your conversation, complete a Self-Reflection and then upload all materials with your application.

Note: These conversations can be had with anyone (adult, child, supervisee, spouse, neighbor, etc.), and they must be authentic Plan B conversations - no role plays. Additionally, upon acceptance, learners will be required to have more authentic Plan B conversations as part of the coursework, so they should think about who they will reach out to to meet the course expectations. Again, no role plays. If there are barriers, please contact thinkkidscertification@partners.org to brainstorm.
