How is the placement decided?

Practicum is individualized. The student along with the practicum instructor will work together to decide this based on availability. Students will submit their top 3 choices.

How and when should I contact my primary supervisor?

If the student has a preference, they can make the initial inquiry to help facilitate the placement. The instructor, student, and practicum supervisor will then meet to work out the details.

What are the required documents?
  • Current copy of your CV 
  • Criminal and child abuse registry check  
What are the expectations for professional conduct?

Students would conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. This will be reviewed in the first class.

What resources are available to me during the practicum?

Students will attend the in person classes that accompany the practicum and the instructor and practicum site would help to secure any materials that are required.

How will my performance be evaluated?

Currently, there is no formal evaluation (Subject to Change). Regular check-ins will occur and if the student completes the 20 days or 160 hours. 

 

What are the timelines and deadlines I should be aware of?

The practicum start early in the term once the meeting occurs between the practicum supervisor, student and practicum instructor. The practicum should be completed by the end of the course timeline. 

What challenges should I anticipate and how can I prepare for them?
