We offer a practicum course at the 2 or 4 credits. See the information
about the course at
http://peercoaches.pbworks.com/w/page/44237542/Practicum or look at the
text below:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Students wishing to become Peer Coaches may participate in the program by
enrolling in a PRACTICUM course (see description below). This course can
be taken for 2 or 4 credits at the advanced level.
Practicum
A practicum is a credited bearing study that gives students both
theoretical and practical experience in the field of learning assistance
and adult learning. Anyone interested in the practicum should obtain
approval from their mentor before they enroll in the study as an
independent study with the Director of Academic Support (Lisa
D'Adamo-Weinstein) and pay for it as they would any other credit bearing
course at the college. Students can earn 2-4 credits as part of their
college level degree program and will also receive all of the general
benefits listed above.
Requirements:
Peer Coaches who wish to receive practicum credits (2 or 4 credits) must
have mentor approval, register and pay for the credits, and follow all of
the requirements listed in the practicum learning contract/syllabus.
Peer Coach must have active participation in peer coaching activities
during the term of enrollment totaling 100-140 hours for 4 credits or
50-70 Hours for 2 credits. Specific activities are discussed and developed
during the practicum and some examples are described in the learning
contract/syllabus.
Peer Coaches earning practicum credits are expected to write two essays
discussing the theories they learned about and their involvement in the
Peer Coaching program.
PRACTICUM COURSE INFORMATION
TITLE: The Theory and Practice of Learning: Learning Assistance and
Academic Support for Post-Secondary Learners
Offered at 2 or 4 credits, Advanced, liberal
A. PURPOSE - The purpose of this practicum is for students to develop a
theoretical grounding in the field of learning assistance and to engage in
practical applications for teaching/training postsecondary learners.
Students in the practicum will learn about the scholarship and best
practices of college level learning assistance and academic support by
reading about and engaging in discussion of academic literature on
appropriate theories of adult learning, student engagement, academic
skills development, and learning center pedagogy. They will also engage
in hands-on practice in assisting college level learners in enhancing
general study skills, tutoring in specific content areas, navigating
through college resources, and/or developing study strategies and
resources within specific Areas of Study or general learning skills
development.
B. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Most of the work for this study will occur as part of the student?s work
as a peer coach. The ten hours of training that all peer coaches
undertake is a part of the initial theoretical and practical foundations
of the study and should be completed before engaging in other learning
activities of this practicum.
There are THREE CATEGORIES of learning activities:
1 - PEER COACHING: TRAINING, ENGAGEMENT, & REFLECTION
The amount of time spent over the course of the term should range between
at total of 100-140 hours for 4 credits and 50-70 Hours for two credits.
These hours include peer coach training, meeting with the course
instructor, and working with students or on specific academic support
projects. Scheduling of the bulk of these hours is determined between the
student and the Peer Coaching Program Coordinator and/or practicum
instructor.
The first 10 hours of this time commitment are derived from the official
Peer Coach training (outlined @http://www.peercoaches.pbwiki.com).
Additionally, five to ten of the remaining hours should be spent in
individual meetings with the course instructor to discuss the readings for
the study. A specific schedule will be developed between the instructor
and the student after the student completes the 10 hours of training
The remaining hours should be dedicated to specific engagements focusing
on the all aspects of academic skills counseling including preparation,
evaluation, and conducting individual and group support in face-to-face
and virtual environments. These engagements will range from observation
to active participation.
2 ? ACADEMIC READING
All required and supplemental readings and course materials will be
available online at http://www.peercoaches.pbwiki.com/Practicum (Please
Note ? the instructor updates the site each term and students in the
practicum may be asked to add some of their work to the wiki).
Reading List
3 ? WRITTEN WORK
Two 8-10 page formal written essays are required for this study:
Theory Essay ? This essay should be grounded in the literature and should
include critical theoretical analysis of assigned readings and/or relevant
research. The essay should explore research, theories and practices gained
from course materials, independent research, discussions with the
instructor, and experiences at the practicum site. The essay can be a
combination of a literature review that includes relevant examples from
the practicum experience or it can solely be about the areas of interest
the student has in the literature and research. The student should plan to
hand this essay in around the midpoint of the term.
Students are both assigned readings and select their own readings from the
resources listed below:

Practice Essay - One essay should be reflective in nature and articulate
the specific experiences at the practicum site as well as the knowledge
and skills gained during the practicum. This essay should be handed in at
the end of the term as a reflective piece and to document the entire
practicum experience.
C. METHOD AND CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION
Evaluation will be based on the quality of the work performed in the peer
coaching setting, engagement with the course instructor, and on the
quality of the two essays. All written work is expected to be at the
college level with an analytical component, and the hands on work at the
will be evaluated according to local best practices and College Reading
and Learning Association (CRLA) standards.
