Establishment and Completion of Goals Contracted at the Beginning of the Practicum

Student grades will be based on four competency areas. These include:

regarding transitional skills, I have had the chance to
work with Jodi and to plan activities to teach
communication and other skills to the students. Ms.
Bymoen is also giving me the chance to go off campus
and observe a work-study that is being done by one of
the students. In addition to this I feel that I have more
personally and individually been able to work on my
goals of building boundaries and relationships. I have
being trying to build opportunities for myself, and I
think I can keep working on this by trying harder to
think of new activities and to try being involved more
that way.

Effort Demonstrated Did the student show outstanding
effort in learning, stretching, and
meeting goals?
If not, how and/or why?
I have had the opportunity to have many different
learning experiences in this practicum so far, including
working in the school store, assisting students with
school and job focused work, doing recreational
activities with the students, and more. I feel that I have
been putting forth effort to try and adapt and learn in
every situation that I am put into to get the most out of
this experience and to give the most that I can while I
am here to help out. I feel that I am always open to learn
something new, and I have so far not turned down any
experience that I have been offered. I feel I am putting in
the appropriate amount of effort to work towards
achieving my goals.
 Communication Were you (or other personnel)
updated appropriately regarding
the students progress in goal
achievement?
Jodi and myself communicate to make sure that I am on
the right track when it comes to my goals. She has been
giving me some great advice and guidance and she helps
me to make sure that I am working towards those goals,
especially my goal regarding transitional skills. I feel
that I have been able to open up to her about my
interests and she has been able to give me some
awesome opportunities because of that, such as getting
to observe one of the students work-study.

Self-Initiative Did the student demonstrate self-
initiative in finding means of
achieving goals?
In general I feel that I have been taking self-initiative in
the classroom. I do not feel like I constantly need to be
asked to do things, and I can step in where my help is
needed. I find that because I have been getting to know
the students better I am starting to be able to know
where my help may be needed more and use that to try
to help out as much as I can. As I mentioned above, I do
feel like I could work to help out more when it comes to
expressing ideas for activities and giving a bit more
feedback on my thoughts.

Comments
Thus far I am on track with my hours as I have
completed over 70 practicum hours. This means I
am looking to complete my hours in early
December. So far I have not missed any practicum
sessions, and I have arrived on time and prepared
for my sessions.
Because I have had so many opportunities to do
different activities, I feel that I have been able to
experience different aspects of this placement,
including being in the ALP classroom and inclusive
option classes. I have been trying to embrace the
chances that I have to experience and learn about
new things, whether this is working with the
teachers or the students.
I feel that I understand and follow the policies
relating to this placement. I think that I have good
relationships with the students and staff and have
been conducting myself along the lines of these
policies. I work very hard to make sure that I am
always respectful and if I dont know how to handle
I situation I feel I have many people I can turn to,
to get the help I need.
 individuals with disabilities, colleagues, etc.?
Growth Has the student requested and/or responded
to feedback?
Comes prepared for meetings with questions
or issues to discuss?
Demonstrated changes in practice based on
relevant feedback when necessary.
Teamwork Does the student work to collaborate with
supervisor and colleagues?
Has he/she operated as a member of the
team?
Since I have never been in a placement working
with high school aged youth before, I have been
trying to gain as much as I can from this practicum.
I have been trying to learn as much as I can and
apply that learning to my practice. When I have
questions I have a lot of resources that I can go to
for help, which I think has been very helpful in my
growth in this practicum. I think that if I can
continue asking questions and try to learn even
more and take advantage of opportunities I can
continue to grow.
I have had the opportunity to work with teachers,
educational assistants, and some staff from Vecova.
I really enjoy the people that I am working with
and think that I am getting along really well with
them. I feel I am able to ask them questions and
learn from them, and help them where I am needed.

Additional Comments: This practicum at William Aberhart has been a very positive experience for me so far. I feel very
comfortable there, and the staff and students are amazing and I look forward to the rest of my time spent there.
