The Challenge
My first student on practice placement, during COVID 19, was quite the new challenge. I had concerns that we would not be able to offer ample opportunity for them to meet their learning outcomes, and that I would not be able to manage the extra load
The Change
We used a matrix to cross ref the opportunities with the LO, remained creative and discussed resilience. We both used Teams and other virtual meetings to communicate and started days with a brief to make sure we were COVID secure in our activities
The Impact
The Student is able to meet all outcomes, and reports that they're having a rich opportunity to learn about creativity in how we approach our work. I'm more confident in taking new students and encouraging others to do the same.
