A quick self-assessment

What have you learned? Some new ideas like questions to take while out on a field trip.
How can you apply it? We took these questions to our clincial sites this week to encourage positive discussion and interaction amoung the students.
What support do you need? Nothing at this time....the forums will help list other ideas, if needed

clinicals as field trips

Our classes go to clinicals one week a month, which is like a field trip. I like the idea of giving them questions to contemplate upon return and will ask them to write and then present their thoughts about: â€¢What type of safety items did you see being used? â€¢What was the pace of the work setting? â€¢Was the work being done in groups or individually? â€¢What excited you most about the workplace? Thanks for the idea

I have seen where the more I tried to help a student it atually enables them and snowballed for me....they don't seem to learn to take control of the situation and you, the instructor continue to do all the work! It's a cycle I am working to get out of :-)
