#1 charisseblinder on 02 Nov 15The alert approach involves Assessment, Listen, Experience, Repetition, and Transformation. It's a simple guide to the essential components of an effective fieldwork supervision experience. Assessment involves assessing the students' readiness to meet fieldwork expectations. Close communication with the academic programs will provide an understanding of performance competencies. Assessment is an ongoing process throughout fieldwork as your students deepen learning in specific practice areas. Listen helps the educator close gaps between their applied knowledge and the student's skill competence. The author suggests that the supervisor listen to what each student knows and then build upon this foundation. Experience involves thoughtfully selecting fieldwork experiences with the goal of facilitating students' learning and readiness for practice. Repetition involves the student forming richer skill sets where they can generalize their learning. This is where the student builds self-efficacy. Transformation helps to encourage reflection across fieldwork experiences to guide students to deepen their professional development. This approach seems to accumulate many experiences we've all had on our level II's. It's also a great resource to return to down the road when we consider fieldwork education!
