Compare the best practices presented in the multimedia scenario with your field experience.
Use the same field experience situation you selected in Workshop Two and continue creating your case study presentation. Use pseudonyms to protect clients’ privacy and confidentiality. Note: Please research and adhere to your agency’s confidentiality guidelines regarding sharing case studies.
Create presentation slides on the intervention phase of the planned change process, illustrating the case study from your field experience. You are encouraged to include your slides on the engagement and assessment phases with your revisions based on your instructor’s feedback.
There is no required number of slides; rather, use the appropriate number of slides to convey your ideas.
