5.1 Pre-placement Requirements

Action Item

Students must review their Synergy clearance from the previous year and ensure none of their pre-placement requirements have expired.

Action Item

Reach out to your Agency Mentor 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 with an opportunity to introduce yourself, clarify your expected time of arrival on your first day, and ensure you have attended any mandatory orientation.

Image Description

Alison, ECL Student

“I prepared myself before entering the field placement by having an open mindset. Having this approach helped me to be open about receiving feedback from my mentor to help enhance my skills. This approach helped me understand that my mentor is there to support me and help me grow. Learning with my mentor was important as she taught me valuable learning experiences and provided me with answers to questions I had. I learned by observing my mentor and how she was interacting with the children. My placements were very important as they taught me skills that will be crucial in the future as a RECE.”
