The purpose of this meeting is to review and discuss the students final evaluation with the student and the agency field instructor. Other contacts by phone, additional agency site visit and written correspondence occur periodically throughout the internship on an as needed basis between faculty liaisons, field instructors and the Director of Field Education. Additionally, the Director of Field Education is consulted occasionally to mediate conflicts, clarify policies and provide assistance in problem- solving situations as deemed warranted. Additional monitoring of the practicum is accomplished through faculty liaisons monitoring and evaluation of students participation in field seminars. In seminars, students discuss issues related to cases, practice, and agency setting.
Students receive feedback from other students and the professor.
Weekly written assignments are directly related to Field Instruction I and II objectives. These assignments are utilized to track students integration, progress, and learning. Additionally, faculty teaching the concurrent practice and research content area courses Assessment and Problem Solving , Social Intervention , Introduction to Practice Research and Evaluation of Practice and Programs have additional opportunities to monitor the practicum experience from each of their unique perspectives.
