Learning is enhanced when you take time to reflect on the process. This week, you will have a journal that asks you to discuss your thoughts in relation to the topic for the unit. Your reflection and writing will help with your understanding of the content covered.
Your response to this journal should be clear, concise, and organized. The expression of information must be well written and original, with few or no errors in format and mechanics.
Continuing Education Unit Plan
In this journal, think about what kind of behavior analyst you would like to be. Where do you want to practice? With whom? What do you need to do to get there? Imagine you are a practicing Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who is currently planning how they will meet the Continuing Education requirements for the next certification cycle.
Then, use the Unit 5 Journal Template to build your plan. You will choose an area of “expertise” and create a Continuing Education Unit (CEU) plan for yourself that includes the following:
An overview of Section 1 and Section 2 codes that cover the importance of competency in your field.
A discussion on continuing education in the field including what the requirements are for recertification. You will provide a list of CEUs to fulfill your recertification requirements. This must be a combo of conferences and CEU opportunities (virtual or live) from accredited organizations.
