feedback and reflection, and were sustained in duration, often unfolding over months or years, rather than occurring in a single, «drive - by»
after school
workshop, as is often the norm.
The trainee must meet with the presenter for one hour
after the
workshop for
feedback and receive a positive evaluation from the presenter, which must then be submitted directly to the Professional Training Coordinator with a copy sent to the course instructor.
