  • 1.  Travel hours for practicum and internship?

    Posted 10 days ago

    Dear Field Education Colleagues, 

    How do you approach travel time when a student is going to a conference, traveling for home visits, etc.? Do you allow students to count this time toward their field hour total? In this particular instance we have two students traveling 4+ hours for a conference with their practicum agency, but there are many possible variations on this theme. Some of the considerations might be whether they're traveling with others from the agency or alone, should there be a cap on travel hours in a given day, etc.

    Any policies or practices you've implemented would be very helpful!

    We allow anything related to field placement to be counted as hours. That includes conferences/training and travel time as required by the organization.
