Orientation Recording and Resources

We're here for you every step of the way. Below you will find an orientation recording and other supporting resources.

Field Instructor Information/Orientation (third year)

To help field instructors orient themselves to their roles, we will be hosting two-hour virtual field instructor orientation/information sessions in January. Each session will cover the same content (FI roles and responsibilities, learning frameworks and documents, supervision requirements, technological platforms used during placement, days/hours, resources, etc.) and folks are welcome to sign up for whatever session works best for them.

  • January 12, 2026: 6PM to 8PM
  • January 13, 2026: 2PM to 4PM
