Placement Paperwork

How is the student to submit their planning forms and placement paperwork to their mentor?

Students are to complete Planning Forms outlining the details of their activities they are implementing. 

How far in advance is the student required to submit the planning forms to their mentor? Please consider time for review and feedback to the student, and also time for the student to act and apply the feedback. (Mentor review for planning forms; is it age appropriate, is it safe, does it capture the children's interests and does it fit within the programs philosophy)
The student and mentor are aware that the mentor provides feedback to the student during placement days/times and not during the mentor's time on weekends and evenings. This includes responding to student emails and text messages.
The student and mentor are aware that if the student doesn’t meet the timeline noted above, as per college requirements and expectations, the student cannot implement the activity. The student will need to reschedule the implementation date in collaboration with the mentor. The student will also need to update their placement calendar to reflect the change.
The student and mentor are aware that the student is required to complete a calendar of activities outlining when they plan to implement their activities following the timelines above. This is due to the mentor within the first 4 days of placement.
The student and mentor are aware that any schedule changes, shift adjustments and make up time must be approved by the Field Placement Specialist and communicated with the mentor. Students must report all time missed from placement prior to the time being taken. If there are concerns with the completion of the placement within the timelines provided, a Student Success Agreement will be put in place.

I understand and commit to the agreed upon requirements of communication in this contract.
