Notes:
1. Field placement will be evaluated by a grade of "pass/fail".
2. A student will be deemed a pass if he/she has:
- reliably submitted all required paperwork and journals
- received "pass" achievement ratings on all objectives in the evaluation form
- completed the required time in field placement and seminar
- followed all agency and college policies
- completed the required assignments in seminar
3. Non-compliance with any of the required items listed in #2 will result in a "fail" grade.
4. Student's will have a mid-term evaluation (weeks 6 - 7 of placement) and final evaluation (final two weeks of
placement) to review progress toward the achievement of learning objectives. This evaluation will be with the
student, field placement supervisor and college advisor at a mutually agreed upon time.
5. The evaluation is to be completed by the student and the field placement supervisor at least one week prior to
the mid-term and final evaluation meetings. This evaluation will be reviewed and discussed with the college
advisor at each evaluation meeting.
The student and supervisor will:
1. Complete the evaluation form before the evaluation meeting times by discussing each enabling objective
(including the student learning outcomes) assigning a rating using the evaluation criteria outlined. Student and
supervisor comments should be completed. Please note: to achieve a rating of 2 or greater, an enabling
objective needs to be demonstrated with consistency, and not just once with direction and supervision.
Whenever a rating of zero or one is assigned, documentation on the evaluation form showing examples of the
difficulty must be included. Unsatisfactory performance will also be documented by the College Advisor with a
Student Alert form.
2. Review all necessary documentation (time sheets, journals, and supervision record) to ensure that they are upto
date and initialed by the placement supervisor. This documentation should be in the student's placement binder.
The student should also be prepared to state how each of their individual goals, developed in the first week
of placement, have been reached. 6. Evaluation Meetings
The evaluation meetings will take 45 minutes - 1 hour. At the evaluation meetings, the following will occur:
1. The college advisor will review the field placement binder which contains updated documentation (placement
contract with goals, supervision record, time sheets, journals, evaluated enabling objectives. NOTE: ratings of
2, 3, and 4 are deemed as a pass).
2. The college advisor will ask the student and placement supervisor for their comments on student's progress.
3. The student will summarize his/her overall placement experience.
4. The evaluation will be signed by the student, placement supervisor and college advisor at each evaluation
meeting.
