Field Directors

Hello All! 

For those involved directly in the practicum placement process or admissions, how do you assess students for practicum readiness? Are there any structured tools, competency checklist or admissions/early program assessments used in your program?

Yes, I would be interested in knowing this as well. This is my current research topic, and I would be very interested in connecting with other directors on the topic of practicum readiness.

Hey Hey,

   I meet with the student at least two-three months before we begin identifying placements. We walk through resume, preparation questions, and emailing the agency to schedule the interview. I found that to be most helpful as I can gauge each student's level of support throughout placement. 

Blessings,
