I recently sent an email to congratulate the 20 Fieldwork
Educators who were nominated by the Class of 2013 to the “Fieldwork Roster of
Honour” for their outstanding contribution to their students’ education. Not wasting a good opportunity to pick the
brains of the experience, knowledge, and skill of our occupational therapy
community, I asked these OTs to share their tips for educating students.
I thought I would have just one entry with all their
tips, but so far 14 educators have given me 7 pages of ideas. I plan to group these into themes and “bite
sized” pieces of advice and suggestions for our blog readers.
About
the nominees:
This is an incredibly diverse group (though they are all
women). There is a wide range of
experience as educators (a first timer, many seasoned educators, and a few who
have not offered a placement in years).
They also represent a range of client ages (pediatrics though older
adults) location (hospital, schools, community etc.) and fieldwork models (1:1,
1 educator: 2 students, 2 educators:1 student, on-site supervision, and
off-site supervision).
