The TFEL project held a roundtable on VALUING OPEN-MINDEDNESS AND FLEXIBILITY IN PRACTICUM PLACEMENTS

About the Roundtable

The TFEL project held a roundtable on Valuing Open-Mindedness and Flexibility in Practicum Placements. The dialogue focused on these practices:

Practice 1: Field educators and supervisors are open to the potential for innovation in different methods and the challenges presented

Practice 2: Incorporating group placements where students are involved in various activities in a collaborative approach

Practice 3: Encouraging flexibility around practicums to allow space and time for all circumstances

In the roundtable discussion, we invite member reflections to allow for sharing and dialogue about the study findings, and providing opportunities for questions, critique, feedback, affirmation, and collaboration.
