This course is also not just about ‘doing’; mostly it is about that often-neglected area of
‘thinking about what we are doing’. This is a part of the process of developing as a reflective
practitioner in residential care with youth.
Like all on-line courses it requires the student to be an active participant in her own learning
and development. Each week, the student will follow one course module, which will include
readings, exercises for learning and on-line discussions. The materials, readings, exercises and
discussion are designed to deepen the student’s understanding and help her become more
skilled in her work.
