Description
Instructions
You and your supervisor will be working together to complete your Learning Agreement for the year. Your Learning Agreement is an important road map for what you’ll accomplish in the year ahead! This log will help you explore what some of your goals and hopes are. The log should be no longer than two pages double-spaced, and no shorter than 1 page; at least one paragraph should be devoted to each section of the assignment. You should provide headings for each section of the log so the instructor can clearly tell each section apart. Submit a log that addresses the following:
Description: This is the section of the log where you will provide the information about your goals. What are you most hoping to accomplish in the year ahead? Consider the following prompts:
“I’ll know I had an effective learning experience if…”
“Some goals for myself include…”
“I chose this internship hoping to be able to learn…”
Reflection: This is the section of the log where you will review your hopes and goals and think critically about them. Why do you have these goals (because of personal experience, what you’re hoping to do after you graduate, what you’ve heard from past interns, what you learned during the interview process, etc.)? Why are these goals significant to you?
Next Steps: This is the section of the log where you will connect this to next steps. Identify steps that you will take when discussing your goals and hopes with your supervisor. What might you do if your supervisor has very different goals than you do? How might you feel if some of your goals will not be possible? How are you going to challenge yourself to make the most of your internship experience and all the learning opportunities available to you?
