The contract also contains a description of how the student will be evaluated and when the practicum begins and ends. The student, the site supervisor, and the faculty supervisor sign the document. While the contract describes the range of responsibilities, it is not inflexible and thus, as needed, the student may seek changes to it provided all three parties are in agreement with the proposed changes. The seminars will provide opportunities for students to assist each other in evaluating selected issues and problems they may be experiencing at the field site. Students may also lead presentations on special topics of interest to all students in the seminar.
Some presentations require the distribution to students of brief written reports.
You will refer back to it throughout the summer during seminar classes. The goals might include the developmental outcomes that the program is designed to facilitate. Even if theory is not apparently in use at your practicum site, please indicate what theories you believe could be effectively used and for what purposes. If not such assessment is in use, provide a brief summary of the types of assessment that you believe could be undertaken in the office. While no textbook is required for this seminar, selected readings from the professional literature may be assigned as they relate to the practicum experience.
