The first week of practicum: November 29 – December 3, 2021

Happy December First, all!

World AIDS Day | Awareness Days | Resource Library | HIV/AIDS | CDC

We hope that the first three days of solid practicum are going well for you. This is the kind of week when a Friday really feels like a Friday!

Take good care of yourselves with special attention to hygiene protocols as there are lots of nasty bugs/colds circulating in the schools, and you will be working hard. This brief blog focuses on self-care and a few reminders about faculty assignments and obligations. We will be meeting with a few of you and your ATs next week via screen, and expect we will be able to touch base with many more once the new year begins.

Please do let us know exactly what you are teaching and if you are connected – through teaching, support or observation – with other classes. We had asked this in an e-mail on Sunday. Having more specific information gives us a clearer view of what you are doing.

“Practicalities”

  • binder constantly updated
  • interim report into us and practicum office, sent by you, by December 17th
  • blog was due November 25th
  • AEL placement
  • thinking and planning inquiry research – now is a great time.
