Introduction

This Introduction to Field Placement resource includes three interactive online modules designed to prepare community services students, specifically Child and Youth Care students, for field placement. The modules are:

1. Professionalism
2. Cultural Competence
3. The Self

Each module is designed to augment the content delivered in students’ face-to-face classes. Students will work through the material online and then connect their learning to in-class discussions. With this resource, learners will practice new skills, techniques, and critical thinking in a virtual environment. The modules and interactive activities have the potential to improve the learners’ retention of knowledge and promote active learning, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
