student  co-­‐leads.  

• Telephone  or  Email  Contacts  include  any  direct  contact  that  the  practicum  student  has  with  

students  or  parents  which  is  not  face  to  face.  These  hours  should  reflect  only  a  small  proportion   of  your  direct  service  hours.  

• College  Admissions/Career  Planning  includes  direct  contact  with  students  and/or  parents  on  

issues  related  to  college  admissions  and/or  career  planning.  This  also  includes  assisting   students  with  college  exploration  and  application  process.

provided  from  your  on-­‐site  supervisor  and  related  staff.

skill  set  provided  from  your  faculty  supervisor.  

• University  group  supervision  includes  direct  supervision  within  a  group  setting  as  dictated  in  the  

practicum  seminar.  These  activities  should  directly  impact  the  development  of  your  skill  set  and   are  supervised  by  a  faculty  member.
