Students who bypass any step in this process are in danger of having to cancel their practicum arrangement. Student will arrange to meet with Site Supervisor. At this meeting they will determine if they both wish to proceed with the practicum. It is highly recommended that the student arrange to spend a minimum of one full day two times a week at a site, if possible. This allows for continuity and a richer professional experience.
Students completing two practica in one semester only participate for that semester.
Students completing two practica over two semesters must participate each semester. It depends on your schedule and the needs of the library. The student is expected to do the tasks that the Site Supervisor does. Attendance at professional conferences and preparation and lesson planning done at home, while laudatory, may not be included as part of the 150 practicum hours. Try to take photos of story times, bulletin boards and other displays, etc.
