This is intended to provide each student with some insight regarding the nature of administrative work, and the challenges and time commitments that are demands on administrators at all levels. The second activity is to complete at least one major administrative project identified by the student with the site administrator and the faculty advisor. This work is generally carried out in the work site of the student. This activity might include more than one project, depending on the student's interests and the effort needed to accomplish the agreed upon tasks. The third activity incorporates the other two.
Candidates are to keep a log of activities and reflections of their experiences.
This log is organized into the ten domains of competence to ensure that they are exposed to a broad variety of experiences. Specific fieldwork objectives are collaboratively agreed upon with the triad within the ten domains. The log also includes additional materials such as agendas of meetings, interview notes. The second semester of Fieldwork ELPS 688B offered only in the Spring semester, is a Decision-Making Simulation experience carried out at various sites and designed to challenge the students with brief cases of real situations representative of those that they will be experiencing as new administrators. Each student will be required to participate in the dynamics of role playing in the Decision-Making Simulation.
