Feedback on Scope
good clear key teaching - well reasoned
Comprehension of Core Concepts - Demonstrates a clear understanding of concepts from the training and IY with the integration of critical thinking skills in goal and implementation.

4 Proficient The response identified relationships between concepts, there is some breadth of information, and minor adjustments may be needed
3 Basic The response presents some accurate information about the concepts, but the response is incomplete and there are some inaccuracies.
2 Limited The response addresses the assigned task but provides no accurate information about the concepts.
0 Not Demonstrated The response does not address the assigned task.
Feedback on Comprehension of Core Concepts
reasonable, doable, relevant and measurable by the client and adaptable to what does work should encourage the client to do more, making it more sustainable over time while healing occurs
Lots of suggestions offered and the likelihood of client doing "all" is slim, so having choices and allowing the client to pick what seems to work is a great plan.
Analysis of Key Issues - Shows consideration of specific client/group, IY, core training, and Yoga Therapy.
5 Exceptional The analysis is well reasoned, logical sequence and rational; Thoughtful and convincing response clearly demonstrates depth of topic knowledge
4 Proficient Response is well reasoned, logically sequenced, and rational. Although knowledge is demonstrated, the response may not be fully convincing
3 Basic Response is mostly reasoned, logically sequenced, and rational. Depth of analysis and/or organization and/or topic knowledge may be lacking.
2 Limited Response is unconvincing and/or disorganized; Response demonstrates an insufficient analysis and/or topic knowledge is not demonstrated.
0 Not Demonstrated Analysis is not attempted, or the response fails to demonstrate effort or address the central topic.
Analysis of Key Issues Feedback
The use of movement - very specific and measurable as well as doable as it is not overwhelming - simple movement along with the breathing and mindfulness practices show a depth of knowledge using multiple approaches including diet and aroma therapy.
Application Key teaching and goal are clearly and appropriately addressed in plan and follow up.
5 Exceptional The response shows evidence of the ability to apply skills; the response is complete and shows proficiency in the skill.
4 Proficient The response shows evidence of the ability to apply skills; the response is mostly complete but may have some gaps
3 Basic The response shows some evidence of the ability to apply skills. The response may have inaccuracies or be incomplete.
2 Limited The response shows little evidence of the ability to apply skills.
0 Not Demonstrated The response shows no ability to apply skills.
Application of Key Teaching Feedback
great all around goal and plan with a variety of suggestions, each simple in their own right but combined make a powerful plan that is adaptable and doable, which is key. Taking into account the elements in nature that were important to this client and incorporating them into the mindfulness practices shows consideration of individual - like the intake for guided imagery but used a little differently than in the course/manual -well done
Relevance and Accuracy - Justifies methods and application.
5 Exceptional Points / assertions are supported by relevant research and references.
4 Proficient Supporting points are made but research with greater relevance could be integrated
3 Basic Supporting evidence is not relevant, recent or from questionable sources.
2 Limited Lacks necessary support for points.
0 Not Demonstrated No references to support points made.
Relevance and Accuracy Feedback
great sources for this particular client and the manual from the course could have a specific citation where relevant
Integration and Originality - Exhibits critical thinking and individualized approach to TCA. Shows a difference between Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist approach.
5 Exceptional Demonstrates critical thinking about the topic and own interpretations. The reasoning is not merely presented but interpreted and applied to core concept.
4 Proficient Demonstrates critical thinking about the topic and own interpretations. The reasoning is presented but could be better interpreted and applied to core concept.
3 Basic Lacks some critical thinking about the topic and own interpretations. The reasoning may not be presented and could be better interpreted and applied to the core concept
2 Limited Lack critical thinking about the topic and the interpretations. The reasoning is not interpreted or applied to core concept.
0 Not Demonstrated No critical thinking about the topic and the interpretations. The reasoning is not interpreted or applied to core concept.
Integration and Originality Feedback
based on thorough intake, the creative plan and goal have been tailored to the client and as much as this problem is a physical problem, the approach is very much sensory in nature and get the client out of her head......hope it is exactly what is needed!
Observations, Recommendations, Alternative Solutions - Reveals significant reflection and understanding of population and key teaching. Displays ability to adapt, adjust, accommodate.
5 Exceptional Well-reasoned, logical, relevant observations and recommendations on effective solutions to most of the problems/issues. Alternatives are discussed and cover all areas of evaluation.

3 Basic Shallow observations and recommendations on effective solutions to some of the problems/issues. Alternatives are mentioned with a method to evaluate.
2 Limited Superficial observations and recommendations on effective solutions to a few of the problems/issues. One alternative is mentioned with an evaluation method.
0 Not Demonstrated No alternatives are given and/or no evaluation method given.
Observations, Recommendations, Alternative Solutions Feedback
Good to state that for each individual client you find out what is important to them (similar to the intake for guided imagery in the course itself and manual) so that you can tailor the sensory experience to each individual, clearly not able to do with a group class
