5 The practice educator role
It is important to plan for the different stages of the practice education process. In the interactive below you can see a list of actions needed at each stage of the process. There may also be some additional actions you think should be added. For example, think back to when you previously worked with a learner on their placement. What were the things that were important to plan for? In the activity that follows, you can add to and adapt the resource to suit your preferences, style and the specific issues that you want to plan for. This can also help you review how things have gone when you reflect on the practice learning experience from your perspective. A downloadable version of the list of actions [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] is also available for you to refer to.
