details of what each scale rating looks like
Students can leave comments about their self-rating Self-assessment is used to look at a student’s self- perception of growth attained through the internship Spring 2016 - Pre- assessment score was compared to the post-assessment score
placement site information, and identified learning objectives developed in consultation with their supervisors
intentional
write learning outcome
Once the midterm is submitted, an Internship Specialist reviews the learning outcomes to ensure they are related to the intended competencies Provides feedback if revisions are needed
We included some additional questions in the survey to gain more knowledge about the student’s work… …and if they would hire the student if an opportunity became available either as an intern or full‐time
Grading:
– Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory – The Professional Internship course is run through blackboard, and we upload student final self- evaluations/grading comments into each student’s profile – Co-op courses are not managed in blackboard – Decision was made not to upload supervisor final evaluations
the course to come review their supervisors’ evaluations in a debrief session
explore how to write about their accomplishments on their resumes
Sharing Data:
– College two pagers were developed and shared with the colleges – First time the Career Center had this kind of data to share
Language purposely stated to show growth that occurred as a direct result of engaging in the internship which allows correlations to be drawn
Added an additional level asking students to think about how their career readiness changed since the beginning of their internships
By asking them to think about it from a job interview standpoint, we found we got much better responses from students Summer 2016 Fall 2015/Spring 2016
Rating scale was increased from 3 fixed points to a 10 point sliding scale
Similar to the addition of a “growth” question in the student’s final evaluation, we added a growth question for the supervisors
Curious if there was difference in how supervisors rated students in relation to:
1) Their overall experience as internship supervisors 2) Previous internship supervision at their
62.65% of supervisors had previous experience supervising an intern at the same organization 20.48% of supervisors had previous experience supervising an intern at a different location 16.87% of supervisors were supervising an intern for the first time.
1) Introduced a welcome packet explaining program parameters 2) Outlined expectations in detail 3) Provided them with information pertaining to the 7 career readiness competencies
– Explained how they should support the students in relation to each competency – Provided them with their deadline dates – Offered to be a resource throughout the experience
We sent an email giving supervisors a heads up that the students were writing their learning outcomes during midterm season Encouraged them to assist Offered to send a copy of the students midterm report
– Introductory Email – One competency per week – Include language written by the internship team to help the student review the resource and determining how best to utilize it
