The Log, Reflective Journal, and Assessment
Log: Students are required to log hours throughout the placement in the Community Engagement Log (CEL) which should specify the dates and times of observations as well as disability category observed (e.g., LD, ED, ID, etc.) and be signed by the supervisor by the end of the placement.
Reflective Journal: Students will complete a reflective journal entry following each observation. Journal entries should include direct observations of children (ages 3-21), and questions and reflections as they relate to individuals with exceptionalities and culturally responsive practices for meeting the needs (academic, social, emotional, behavioral) of diverse populations. Each journal entry should be at least 150 words in length and separated by APA formatted headings. There should be an Introduction, a Conclusion, and a citation from the text and a citation from a current Journal Article.
