I posted feedback from a meeting 2/18 regarding the High Risk Student policy and ATI testing policy. Please look it over and either post feedback on this blog, the google groups, or send it to me directly at spokewrench@gmail.com.

At the meeting, we also discussed ideas for improving lab given the new format. Students expressed concern at how little time we get to practice skills with instructor feedback. We assumed that we cannot simply add more lab time. One idea was to ask Jolene and Sherry to train a student liaison for each skill who persons a skill station during our "play" time in lab and is able to supervise student practice of that skill before the student completes the instructor demonstration. I will ask Jolene and Sherry today if they wants ideas given directly to them, or if SFA is the preferred venue. My hope is to keep hashing this idea out in order to present something either to J&S in a couple weeks, or to SFA's March meeting.

Some students have also expressed a desire to have more clinical days. Before we get too deep into discussing this topic, I want to check-in with the SFA to see if discussing additional time is within the realm of the changeable. If it would be logistically/fiscally impossible, I don't want us to waste time hashing out our opinions.


Thank you!
