Tulsa meeting outcome

Thank you, David!  I very much agree with you.  In fact, that is what I was going to promote as the next step.  We need to form a competencies working group and it makes sense to me to review what already exists.  I had hoped that the group would review the AVA document prior to the meeting and some did.  I believe the focus required for going through details of competencies will need to happen within the context of multiple sessions, online and in person, will time for reflection in between.  I do understand the urgency of this as our students want action, as we all do.  I feel a thorough review of the existing competencies - AVA, APA, social work education - along with a review of expanded definitions of TIC and TIC training, not written in the form of competencies, but important to include, should be done as a base for this project.  The time we spent sharing, forming relationships, understanding terms,  and encouraging each other along this complicated path was well spent and forms the base for so much great work in the future.   

I will make sure the documents I mentioned above on here on our community site.  I think it works best to store everything here rather than a bunch of emails.  I can't be on the call on Thursday, but please continue the conversation.  This group is amazing!!
