Introduction
Each student creates and updates his/her Student Profile for Fieldwork Experience form that includes content related to on-going assessment of his/her progress and goals in developing the professional behaviors, knowledge, and skills needed for fieldwork practice.
Ultimately, the DCE, ADCE, and/or Fieldwork Coordinator make all fieldwork education assignments. Factors will include site availability, current and prior academic and fieldwork performance, and characteristics of the learning environment at the fieldwork site. Students may not decline a fieldwork placement; such action will be considered refusal to take a required course.
The Program cannot guarantee placements at specific facilities or geographic locations during specific time frames. Fieldwork placements are subject to site availability at locations that have contracts with the Program, and in accordance with State Laws and Regulations. The availability of any particular fieldwork facility varies from semester to semester.
Students are advised that not all facilities are available for all fieldwork education experiences. Availability is based on resource constraints of the fieldwork sites and on the fieldwork program’s decisions regarding appropriateness of the facility to specific fieldwork experiences in the curriculum and/or to a specific student’s learning needs.
