The technique summary is intended to be a shorthand tool for summarizing a technique.  I wanted to create a standard protocol or tool that would be used to access a theory in the same way each time.

Techniques Summaries: These assessments (11 total) are designed to help you become an active learner through consistent immersion in the concepts taught in this course. I want you to write professionally in the 3rd person, such as “Reflective listening is a technique that involves”…. no use of 1st person.  I predict that you will learn about yourself as you learn the course content. Length: 3 pages double-spaced 12 point Times New Roman font). If you use references, use APA style.  Here is the format: 

1) TECHNIQUES TEMPLATE TECHNIQUE OR INTERVENTION:

2) THEORY OF WHY IT WORKS?

3) BARRIERS TO SUCCESS (WHAT COULD PREVENT SUCCESS)?

4) SPECIFIC MECHANISM (The “HOW”) OF CHANGE

5) GOALS/OUTCOME OF THE TECHNIQUE

6) GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE TECHNIQUE IN ACTION
