Assignment: Final Personal Consultant Statement AND Demo Video Interview

(1) Final Personal Consultant Statement Description:

Your Personal Consultant Statment is a "first impression" of how you might present yourself to others/administrators in a district if you were to be asked to consult.  Whether spoken or written, our tone is so important. Your Personal Consultation Statement is reflective of you - and sets the tone for a potential consultative relationship.  With this in mind, and based on the continued readings and research in this course, make adjustments to your draft (also be sure to make changes based on feedback given).

Highlight the areas of change that you made since your last draft. Submit your  final personalized consultant statement (1-2 pages).

In addition, include 1-2 paragraphs on how the course readings, knowledge of interpersonal styles, etc. influenced your changes. Be thoughtful and insightful, cite readings or course experiences that have influenced your change. 

 (2) Demo Video Interview

Create a 5-minute (no longer!) sample video of you presenting yourself to a public school interview panel who has reached out to you as a potential consultant at their school/district (either as a consultant or full-time/part-time district BCBA).  Base your responses on the path you chose. This is great practice for you!

Answer the following  5 questions in your video:

**If possible have someone ask you the questions as it will feel more “real life."

1.  I’m reaching out because I was given your name as a possible BCBA consultant for (A, B, or C - your path).  Can you tell me a little about yourself and your personal consulting style?

What is your experience with consulting?  (if you don’t have a lot then you need to figure out how to answer this effectively - think about your briefs and understanding of current public school issues)

3. Specific Consultation Path (pick  ONE question in your chosen path):

· Path A: STUDENT-SPECIFIC CONSULTATION: We have a student who has significant challenging behavior. Do you think you can help us fix this problem? How will you be addressing this problem?  OR We have a student who demonstrates significant challenging behavior. He has a previous history of neglect. Do you think you can help us fix this problem? How will you be addressing this problem?

· Path B: PROGRAM OR CLASSROOM SPECIFIC CONSULTATION: We are creating an ABA/autism classroom. How can you assist us in creating a quality program?  OR We have a teacher struggling with a few students in her classroom which is affecting the entire classroom. Do you think you can help fix this problem? How will you address this problem?

· Path C: DISTRICT-WIDE CONSULTATION: We are have recently implemented SW-PBIS. There has been some resistance with teachers and a lack of follow-through. Can you help us fix this problem? How will you address this problem?

4. We have some staff members who don’t necessarily believe in ABA or know enough about it, how will you handle those staff?

5. Can you tell me more specifically how you will train staff?

There are 5 questions. Be succinct and thoughtful about how you answer each question.  Approximately 1 minute or less response per question!
