Field Experience

Presented by: Dana E. Krauss

When to use Field Experience

• Tie students to a:• Course• Field experience site (school, hospital, etc.)• Preceptor/Cooperating teaching/Mentor

• Send students a field experience binder• Establish a binder work flow from

students to their instructor and site supervisor• Use placements and binder assessments

for accreditation and reporting

Getting Ready

• Establishing Field Experience at your university will take time and effort

• Product Consultants and Administrators work together to configure the module (this process can take several months)

• Start with a group of Early Implementers before expanding to the entire campus

Considerations

• Import data to Tk20• Sites• Site staff• Student placement info

• Review current process• Establish a work flow• Create the binders• Training students, faculty, and site staff• Implement FE gradually – start small• Assembling help resources

…but then why should I use it?

• The first few semesters require the most time and effort (because it’s a new process), but the more you use it, the more time you save

• Site supervisors can submit their data online

• Students can reuse artifacts for FE binders in a presentation portfolio

• Centralized data collection for accreditation and reporting
