Congratulations. You are ready to start a practicum experience. A practicum is an exciting learning experience that affords you the opportunity to observe and participate in diverse educational settings. During the practicum, introspection, personal change, professional growth, and self-assessment will empower your sense of development as a professional. The opportunity to work in a practical setting within your field coupled with supportive guidance from the instructor will give you a strong sense of professional self-growth.
