Develop, in conjunction with the site supervisor, a contract outlining the primary expectations and responsibilities of the practicum experience. This contract will be due no later than the third week of the semester and must meet the approval of the instructor. Keep a journal of your practicum experiences and activities. The journal should also include your reactions to questions posed by the instructor each week in class. Students should be prepared to share these journal entries with their classmates and the instructor.
Journals are due at each scheduled class meeting.
With feedback from your site supervisor, complete a self-assessment of professional and personal competencies related to the practice of student affairs. Based on the assessment, create a plan for continued professional development. Participate in a performance evaluation and feedback session with the site supervisor and practicum instructor. Evaluation sessions will be scheduled during the final weeks of the semester and MUST include the student, the site supervisor, and the practicum instructor. Expectations for the paper will be discussed in an early class session.
