Letter of Introduction: Students are required to contact their placement site with a letter of introduction using the template provided, and a covering email. Students are required to have a peer from their learning team audit the letter using the checklist provided prior to sending.  The letter is to be submitted on Canvas.

Site Contact Form: Students are required to have an exchange of information with their placement educator at the placement site, usually by phone (i.e., information must flow both ways). Students are required to report certain information from this exchange on the student to placement site contact form located on Sonia.  Students must indicate on Canvas that this task has been completed.

Timesheets: Students must maintain a timesheet in Sonia that accurately reflects all fieldwork attendance activities as per attendance requirements and timesheet guidelines. Entries must comply with the guidelines provided and submitted by the due date. Attendance records may be taken, and audits and verifications of hours entered in timesheets will be conducted. Falsely declaring information on attendance records or timesheets is unprofessional behaviour and may represent serious misconduct. Students are to declare on Canvas that they have met the required hours for the unit.

SSHS Placement Quality Form: Students are required to submit a Placement Quality Form, located on Sonia, at the conclusion of their placement.  Students must indicate on Canvas that this task has been completed.

Student Practice Evaluation Form – Revised (2nd edition): Using the SPEF-R2, students and educators will evaluate the students demonstration of professional skills, knowledge, and attributes during clinical placement. A midway SPEF-R2 is held around week 4 of the placement. Students should complete their own self-evaluation using the SPEF-R2 and take this to the midway evaluation meeting to discuss with their supervisor.  The student is responsible for obtaining a copy of the supervisors midway SPEF-R2 and uploading it to Canvas. A final evaluation will take place at the end of placement.  Again, students should complete their own evaluation using the SPEF-R2, meet with their supervisor to discuss and obtain a copy of the final SPEF-R2 completed by the supervisor and upload this to Canvas.   

Learning Plan: Students must develop their learning plan using the template, prior to placement.  There should be 4 goals and at least 2 learning activties for each.  Submit this plan to Canvas.   Students should then discuss their learning plan, goals and activties with their supervisor at the start of placement and make necessary adjustments.  Students should implement the learning plan and be signed off by the placement supervisor at the end of the placement.  Students also complete a short learning plan reflection. The completed Learning Plan and reflection should be submitted to Canvas. Note: Further adjustments to the learning plan may be needed after the midway SPEF-R2 evaluation.

Clinical Placement Reflection: Students are required to submit a 1000-word reflection task, focusing on their learnings, reflections and strategies used on placement to develop and enhance therapeutic relationships with patient / clients / service users, families and other significant others. This will be submitted to Canvas.
