Week Six: Clarifying your goals

Now that you've all be in your placements for a bit and are starting to figure out different ways to work effectively with your students I want you to consider the following questions:

What are your personal goals for the remainder of the semester at your placement site?

How, if at all, do these goals align with the overall goals of your partner organization?

(It's OK if they don't)

Do you currently have what you need to accomplish these goals?

(If not, where can you get the support you need?)

Week Five: Refining Your Approach

What new techniques/approaches have you adopted to 'succeed' at your placement sites since the semester began?

How do you know if they are working?

Week 4 Question

Now that everyone is starting to really get into your placement sites, I want you to consider the following series of questions. You may post this week or during the Spring Break if you will be attending your placement sites over the break.

What is your role with your partner organization?

How does your participation at their site advance their institutional mission?

Do you know what the mission is?

Are there multiple organizations you're serving?

What are your goals for this experience?

How do you keep track of your own goals for personal growth within this context?
