• Dispositional Report to the Court

1. 1. Session 5 focused on the Dispositional Report to the Court. Each of you worked with a partner or in a small group to write the Case History as well as the Findings and Recommendations for one party to the case. You will want to have a complete Dispositional Case Report to the Court. Therefore, one member of your group will email a Word version of your Case History, Findings, and Recommendations to the Casemaster by the date your instructor designates.
   2. Your instructor will use your Case Histories, Findings, and Recommendations to compile an entire report. The Casemaster will then send you a complete Dispositional Report to the Court. You should read the complete report, compare its contents to the Rubric for the Dispositional Report to the Court, and bring any questions/comments you have to Session 6.

To review the key points you heard about report writing in Session 5, listen to Podcast #8 on Report Writing (found at http://www.casakanecounty.org/ under CASA University: Podcast Training).
