Additional Notes Regarding Solutions Course Delivery
Solutions is like two courses (practicum and seminar).
- The seminar is scheduled for 3 hours (2 hours in class and 1 hour online).
- Field Practicum scheduled for 11 hours. Field hours are recorded on your timesheet. This is time working at and for your agency (165 hours).
Students are expected to follow all Fanshawe College-related policies while in their field environment. The final grade for your field practicum will be determined collaboratively among the practicum agency, the Agency Mentor and your Faculty Advisor.
WSIB – in case of an injury at Field Placement
Fanshawe College is pleased to inform you that should an incident occur involving a practicum student, the MAESD will continue to provide insurance at no cost to your organization. Student claims will be insured similarly as your employee claims; for example, students placed with a WSIB employer will be covered by WSIB insurance, and students placed with an employer not registered with WSIB will be covered by ACE INA Insurance.
Inform your Faculty Advisor and Field Practicum Coordinator immediately if you have been injured while on practicum.
If you are at a Field Placement and you are injured, please go to this link to fill out the necessary forms: Clinical/Field Pre-Placement Process: Placement Injury / Incident Reporting.
Regular Communication with your Faculty Advisor
- The Faculty Advisor will visit each student during the first half of their Solutions Practicum on-site when possible (virtually if required).
- Students organize meetings with the Agency Mentor and Faculty Advisor.
- Faculty Advisors will support the ECL student and their Agency Mentor in developing and implementing the agency project.
- Students must connect regularly with their Advisor and respond to all communications within 48 hours.
