Field Experience Professional Semester I University Consultant Statement of Support:
Performance in Professional Semester I and II courses and practicums are taken into consideration when decisions are made regarding future Professional Semester III requests for Out-of-Zone internship placements. We ask that University Consultants please submit this form for each of the PS I students that you supervised this fall, keeping in mind that unit and lesson planning, and classroom management are often areas where students require more frequent and ‘in person’ assistance from their future respective PS III University Consultant in order to be successful in their internship.
Occasionally there are more Out-of-Zone placements requests than can be approved for a semester, which requires that student requests to be prioritized. We ask that (based on their experience in PS I), you include comments as to why you would or would not be supportive if the student should request an Out of Zone PS III placement in the future. We are also mindful of the fact that some Out of Zone internship placements may be in distant rural or remote locations, and therefore, supervision will be completed virtually rather than having in-person supervision from the students' University Consultant.
Your comments supporting your decision assist us in the prioritization of Out of Zone placement requests. We anticipate that each submission should take not take longer than a few minutes to complete.
Thank you in advance for your time and input!
