ELPS 203: O/P GUIDELINES

Talking Points and Reminders for OP Orientation Presentation:

• ELPS (geographical location choices on the map and 30 hour requirement)
• Student conduct code (fraudulent/falsifying information/signatures will result in department/university consequences)
• Professional conduct guidelines (dress, behavior, confidentiality - " we are guest at the schools", etc.)
• ALL students are to complete "SurveyMonkey" forms. All forms are due to Dr. Raby by 1/30 to ensure placement. Please inform the Field Experience Office if you decide to withdraw from the class after completing the Student Contact Sheet. School personnel get very upset, once a placement has been secured, the students are expected and they are 'No Shows'.
• Check-off all appropriate boxes (e.g. taking more than one class, special circumstances, etc.).
• Review criteria for special circumstances (e.g. the student will be securing her/his own placement and completing/submitting the appropriate form).
• All communications RE: placements will be conducted through their CSUN web email address (e.g. receiving their OP school assignment prior to the designated 'check-in days').
• Students are not to contact schools for their own placements (unless it is a special circumstance, please reinforce criteria) or to call the school unless it is an emergency/illness and s/he can not attend during the scheduled OP hours
• Park on the street not in the school parking lot.
• Every student must receive a TB clearance prior to beginning the OP assignment (remind students to bring the form the first day as s/he may be asked to show it to the school personnel).
•  
•  
• All students (except those who are exempt) will be placed in CSUN Partner schools.

  NOTE: ONLY CSUN can make arrangements for San Fernando Valley public schools

  NOTE: Students who do not submit their request on time will be dropped from the class.

  Special Circumstance" Students are those who work at a school-site (public or private), live more than 30 miles from campus, or have work complications. These students can choose any school outside the San Fernando Valley to do all 30 hours as long as the principal signs the surveymonkey form that verifies acceptance of the student. If you are a "Special Circumstance Student" you must, in addition to the survey, submit a letter of permission signed by the principal on school letterhead and give it to Dr. Raby by FEBRUARY 11
