What I learned from this module is very important for me as an instuctor wh teached in a direse environement of LA campus. 

The term diversity refers to differences in race, gender, and sexual orientation. It is very important to consider. There are several theories related to understanding diversity. Th Schema theory implies on the assumption that every person thinks and acts through their own specific schema. Consideration of diversity is a very important aspect of learning. Refraining from stereotyping is the first step, learning students’ names will customize the instructions. It is a good practice to try knowing the… >>>

Evaluation for Internship includes very important component, which is interpersonal skills, and oral communications. This will help the student intern to picture the future career and make plans accordingly. Professional feedbacks by the supervisors are fundamental for interns. The final evaluation of internship should include students’ progress, ability to learn, attitude, and attendance. 

On-campus and on-site supervisors need to communicate to effectively guide the internship process for students. This communication includes visiting the students on site, work closely with the on-site supervisor and the student in case there are problems with a student. The on-site supervisor needs to be very organized. Clearly explain the intern the responsibilities, set up specific time to meet with intern, encourage and provide help. In case the intern does not take the internship seriously, the n-site supervisor should alert problems as soon as possible.  These observations should be described I the evaluation document that will help the students… >>>

To start the internship, it is important to have contract signed between the student and supervisor. This will be great way to specify job responsibilities and policies for both sides. Another good idea is to keep communications open to ensure that expectations are met.  Both student-intern and the supervisor should keep journals to document the work done and the hours worked.

As a possible supervisor to a student-intern, I will offer a project and help the student to complete it. I will ask the students to submit self-evaluation for their completed portions and will set up time to discuss with… >>>

It is big responsibility to be an internship supervisor. Considering paying the interns is an effective way to keep intern students more accountable. It is important that the supervisor introduces the intern to the employees of the workplace to help the intern student develop better skills working in the environment of employees.  

The supervisors themselves need to be trained to provide better guidance to the interns.  As a potential supervisor, I think I will get every training I can to properly organize the learning experience for the students-interns, like  making sure the intern is given adequate responsibilities that would… >>>

In this section I learned about experiential learning, which is a student-centered way to provide educational experience to students outside of on-ground classroom experience. This will include field experience and/or internship for students.

This is type of leaning that will improve students’ opportunities for job skills, human relations skills, etc. Students have opportunity to practice early employment experiences whatever their future jobs will require.  This will be a great carrier development opportunity or students while in school. My students as future nurses, usually take clinical classes in hospitals while still in school, which is a great example of an experiential… >>>
