Description

Seminars are an integral part of the Developmental Services Worker Field Placement experience. The learning experience in seminar depends on what the student brings to class. Reflection on field practice experience is an integral part of seminar.

Students practice applying theoretical frameworks, knowledge and skills to their Field Placement experiences.
