ACPE CERTIFICATION COMMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PROCESS RECORDERS
The process recorder is one of the five members of the subcommittee and is a verbally participating, voting member of the subcommittee. The process recorder serves three purposes through taking notes on the process of a subcommittee meeting with an applicant seeking certification:
• to provide a written record for the applicant, if the applicant desires, to review (after the thirty day appeal period has passed);
• to assist in leading the subcommittee in a critical review of its process, at the end of each subcommittee meeting; and
• to provide a written record of the process of the meeting to be used in an appeal, if there be one.
To promote uniformity:
• write legibly;
• note enough of the content to enable any reader to understand the flow of the meeting;
• note the time at 5 to 10 minute intervals;
• note themes, issues and “critical moments” in the interview;
• record the process, but do not to express judgments about the behavior of the applicant or members of the subcommittee;
• record only the meeting with the applicant; and
• use debriefing time to provide feedback to the members of the subcommittee about their process and/or interactions together.
