PFE Agreement

Your agreement is a prerequisite for the professional field experience; it spells out what you and your site supervisor will do to achieve your educational objectives for the course. Fill in the agreement form either online or by hand; send to instructor as an attachment to a Sakai message (preferred, if it works) or URI e-mail. Specifically, the agreement will include:

• Contact information for all 3 parties to the agreement
• Administrative information (credit hours, dates, brief description of PFE)
• Major objectives, corresponding to the GSLIS Educational Outcomes—including Outcome 1, Professional Ethics, and from one to three other outcomes appropriate to your own PFE
• Specific activities to be carried out in support of objectives
• Specific products to be presented as evidence of activities. The assigned products are listed on the agreement form, followed by a space for your input. Amendments to the agreement may be negotiated by student, site supervisor, and faculty supervisor; any assignment changes will be based on the principle that assignments should 1) promote reflection on ethical practice, 2) provide meaningful evidence of student achievement, and 3) not add unnecessarily to student workload.
• Signatures or e-mail approvals from student, site supervisor, and faculty supervisor.
