We are excited to announce that Mary Claire Heffron and her collaborating fellows, Monica Mathur Kalluri and Sherry Heller have received a 2024 PAR Collaboration Award of $4,500 for their project entitled: Picturing Reflection.
Picturing Reflection is aimed at supporting those who are building reflective supervision and practice skills or helping others to do so. The project goal is to create short video clips from practitioners in settings such as early intervention, early care and education, home visiting, and infant and early childhood mental health. These samples will be made available to individuals working to expand their reflective practice skills and those offering support or training in reflective supervision. By doing this, the collaborating fellows hope to illustrate the diversity of those using reflective practice and the variety of programs working to infuse these practices into their settings.
If you have any questions about the PAR Collaboration Awards, please email the Academy Council’s PAR Coordinators, Margaret McLaren at mjmclaren@gmail.com and Jennifer Harman at Jennifer.Harman@stjude.org.
