Abstract

Using a sports metaphor (U.S. football), this learning activity provides specific examples pertaining to the five major responsibility domains of the Standards for Practice of the Association for Child and Youth Care Practice. Some of the examples illustrate constructive ways of adhering to the standards while others are questionable and may violate some of the standards.
