Experiential Critical Analysis
Integrative Processing – As you know, reflecting and analyzing the experiences you have in the internship setting is essential to the learning process. The learning you acquire through your internship is greatly enhanced when to take the time to reflect on what happened each day AND analyze your experiences. This quarter we will use a slightly modified version of Kiser’s (1998) Integrative Processing Model to do this reflection and analysis.
Field Visit
Quarterly site visits are required in this program. Each student and field supervisor is expected to set aside approximately 45 minutes of their time for this visit. Students are responsible for setting up the field visit (coordinating the schedules), creating the agenda, and facilitating the meeting.
