Reflection Blog

Part of my practicum involves keeping a weekly blog that serves both as a method of processing my weekly gains, as well as taking note of any challenges I encounter.

My goal with this blog is to complete a number of things:

  • Record successes that I make along my route towards fulfilling my learning contract
  • Make note of challenges I face and the ways that I solve them
  • Provide a record for future practicum students at UNCG, as well as myself

You can view my existing entries below, and navigate among them from within each post.
