ARTIFACTS
1. Introduction of Family Centered Early Intervention Handout

RATIONALE
Standard 1 of the ISLLC Educational Leadership Policy Standards identifies that an effective
leader creates and implements plans to achieve goals. The artifact selected for Standard 1 is a
handout that I created to help introduce early intervention practices to families. The goal of the
early intervention in Kansas is to used a family centered model for intervention. This practice is
vastly different than the traditional approach. Families have to be educated on why this practice
is mandated in order for them to embrace it. I give this handout to the families that I work with
during my initial visit. This is the first step to collaboratively developing and implementing a
shared vision and mission. This artifact exemplifies Standard 1 because it demonstrates the fist
step in creating and implementating of a shared plan to achieve goals that will promote a shared
vision of learning supported by all stakeholders.
