7.1 FLDP 3024 Preparation before the First Day of Field Placement
- Students must review their Synergy clearance, making sure it is up to date before they start Field Placement.
- Reach out to your Agency Mentor/Child Care Centre/School Contact/Early Year Agency prior to beginning your practicum. It is suggested you contact them by phone or email one to two weeks prior to your start date. This provides you an opportunity to introduce yourself, clarify your expected arrival time on your first day, and ensure you have attended any mandatory orientation.
- Review the OER with the Faculty Advisor.
- Prepare a name tag – either purchase it in the Bookstore or use a lanyard and Fanshawe College ID.
