Critical Analysis In APS Casework Instructor-Led Training
Course Description
Critical analysis is an application of thought processes that extend beyond logic and deduction, resulting in creative, comprehensive, and evaluative assessment. Critical analysis requires a deeper examination of apparent facts than simply accepting new information at face value. Critical analysis applies critical thinking skills to generate effective decision mapping.
This course will reinforce a foundational understanding of the importance of critical analysis in the work of Adult Protective Services (APS) professionals. Participants will also integrate five critical thinking skills essential for APS professionals’ application of critical analysis. These skills will be practiced and applied to scenarios commonly faced in APS.
