| Popis: | Research-based professional development opportunities for early childhood home visitors are valuable to the Early Head Start-Home-Based Option (EHS-HBO) and to the home visiting field broadly to strengthen effective practice. We explored EHS-HBO home visitors’ (N = 5) perspectives on effective practice through a professional development activity that included viewing videos of their own practice, analyzing the video and assessment data of their practice and parent–child interactions, and reflection. A convergent mixed methods multiple-case study was used. A variety of skills were noted within each case as indicators of effective practice, suggesting that a plethora of complex skills are needed to work with families. Across-case analytic strategies were used to compare subthemes, codes, and substantial statements across cases to generate themes. Two major themes emerged from our data analysis across cases: practicing self-reflective consciousness and building foundations for parent–child interactions. The findings have implications for professional development activities. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10643-021-01249-3. |
