Practicum

In addition to the course requirements and practicum experiences infused in selected required courses, students also complete a practicum in a general education classroom during the first year (1/2 day per week, minimum of 100 hours), 6 credits of school-based practicum with a school psychologist (1 day per week, minimum of 300 hours; CEP 893K) during the second year, and 6 credits of school-based practicum/internship with a school psychologist (2 days per week, minimum of…

and see things clearly in a spiritual way. The major assignments specifically the mini practicum helped me to apply my theories and what I have learned so far in school. It has helped me to obtain applicable knowledge and skills by performing in an actual work setting. I am happy that The King’s University requires their students to undergo such Gowan Page 2/Assign #3 Reflective…

Linking Content The most prevalent aspect of chapter two that relates to our course content is selecting a practicum and internship site. Throughout the semester we have to go on six site visits, which allows us to gain a better understanding of what types of sites are acceptable for the rehabilitation counseling program to do practicums and internships at. It also helps us gather information about various potential placement settings to see if we are a good fit for the school/agency. The types…

I completed my ten practicum hours at the Belgium Elementary School in a first grade classroom. The pre-conceptions I had before completing my Special Education 351 course and my practicum hours, included that students with exceptionalities were incorporated in the classroom limitedly. I expected to there by more boys with special needs in the class than girls. More so, I assumed that there was not a great deal of students with exceptionalities in the lower grades present in the general…

It is hard to believe how much time has passed since I started my practicum and since my last journal. I still feel very fortunate for the experiences I am gaining at my practicum. I have learned so many great skills and been able to grow in skills I already possessed. Since my last journal entry I have been engaged in many of the same activities. I have been able to gain more experience on the crisis hotline. Since my last journal I did attend a survivors of suicide meeting. I was an…

choice to do my practicum in the OR at SHMC. I completed a total of 134 hours from August 29-September 22. I had a great experience and gained much confidence in myself from this clinical. Before coming in, I was worried about the clinical experience from what I have heard from those that work in the OR. I also had a lack of confidence in my nursing skills. However, I think that this clinical experience was great for me. There was much personal growth that occurred during this practicum…

Asking students to challenge themselves by setting goals for themselves and by also creating opportunities for peer-editing. I believe this would work well in my practicum setting because often the students make the same mistake over and over again. It may be something as simple as adding a period at the end of all his/her sentence, but this could be a goal that they could create for themselves to improve their writing…

how children learn. Toddlers are mainly ego-centric beings that are grasping the skills of empathy, as well as other social skills. As educators, we have to plant the seeds of how children respond to stimuli in their environment. Being in Toddler Practicum really shows me these accomplishments. I interacted with Toddlers that practiced sharing. It is interesting to watch the differences in children and how they react to new concepts of sharing and turn-taking. I learned that children follow…

1. How are you doing on your plan? I would say my self confidence has improved. I have performed well when given a blank treatment plan and needing to come up with one on the spot when treating a patient for the first time. I have learned to just my "gut instinct" when it comes to therapeutic exercises or activities, because when I second guess myself it causes me to lose confidence in myself. At the end of each day, we (me and whichever OT I am with that day) digest how the day went, the…
