Stetson University's Department of Counselor Education program systematically assesses each student's progress throughout the student's Practicum and Internship experience by examining student learning in relation to a combination of knowledge, skills, and dispositions during this time. As part of this assessment each semester, as a site supervisor, you will be asked to complete a Midterm and Final evaluation of the student in Time2Track. It is generally expected for Practicum students to score in the 3 to 4 range, as this is their first clinical experience. In addition, that by Internship II, it is expected that students score at least a 4 in all areas.

  • The following are the scoring scale:
    • (5) Skills and Understanding Significantly Beyond Developmental - Students at this level perform beyond what would be expected for a master's level intern. They may be on a level equal to registered interns and contribute significantly to the organization in the areas where they receive a 5.
    • (4) Strong Mastery of Skills and Thorough Understanding of Concepts - Students at this level demonstrate knowledge, skills and/or dispositions expected for a master's level intern in Internship II at the time of graduation. Students must score at least a 4 in all areas to successfully graduate.
    • (3) Understanding of Concepts/Skills are Evident - Students at this level are developing as would be expected during Practicum and Internship I. They demonstrate understanding of skills and concepts, however, are not fully implementing them on a consistent basis.
    • (2) Minor Conceptual and Skill Errors; In process of Developing - Students at this level perform at a level just below what would be expected during Practicum and Internship and require some remedial focus in areas where they receive a 2.
    • (1) Significant Remediation Needed; Deficits in Knowledge/Skills - Students at this level perform well below what would be expected during Practicum and Internship and require formal remediation to address knowledge, skills, and/or dispositions in the areas where they receive a 1. Students may require additional semesters of clinical work prior to graduation.

We partner with Time2Track to manage our student experience at your organization. In addition to using the system for hours tracking and approval, we will also be using the system to distribute and complete forms and evaluations.

  • We suggest reviewing the Completing a Form or Evaluation article on the Time2Track support page. This article walks you through the steps you need to complete a form or evaluation. Note the following:
    • Time2Track will send an email alert when a form or evaluation needs your attention. You can simply click on the link which will take you directly to the document for you to complete. This works best in Chrome.
    • You can always log into your account at any time and view all of your approval requests, forms and evaluations.
    • Forms or evaluations that have been approved by Stetson cannot be edited by any respondents. If you need to edit a form that has already been approved, please contact our Admin at [email protected] to have them unapproved it.
    • You must provide a response for each item. If you are unable to appropriately assess the student’s skills on any given question, please select a 3 and leave the question number in the section provided titled, “Please note student’s areas for improvement which you have observed” and note that you are unable to assess at this time.
    • Each of your evaluations will be sent to the student, the faculty, and our Institutional Administrator. When this process is complete, the forms will be available to view and/or print under the Forms tab with all of the required signatures.
  • We thank you, as always, for your partnership in educating our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Time2Track support team at [email protected] or 617-612-2886.

For Practicum and Internship students intending to see clients during breaks when the university is not in session, the “Between Semester Agreement Form” must be completed and on file with the student’s Internship instructor prior to the end of the Practicum or Internship semester. This document will be located in Time2Track to the site supervisor upon request from the student. By signing this Agreement, you understand that your supervisee is not enrolled in class at Stetson University during this time, and that you agree to be responsible for the supervision needs of this student for the duration of the academic break. You understand that your supervisee may gain up to 100 hours of clinical experience during this break (50 indirect, 50 direct). The Site agrees that it will indemnify and hold Stetson University harmless from any claims, fees, and damages relating to my supervision of the Student and that the Site maintains insurance that is appropriate. You acknowledge and agree that the Site and Stetson University are independent of each other and that our responsibilities hereunder do not create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship. As clinical supervisor for the Site, you agree to supervise the Student during academic breaks which shall include but not be limited to meeting with the Student at least one hour per week during the academic break as she/he/they continues to see clients and accrue direct experience hours.

Stetson University’s Department of Counselor Education program systematically assesses each student’s progress throughout the program by examining student learning in relation to a combination of knowledge and skills. This assessment process includes that the Counselor Education Department will identify an individual, typically the Practicum and/or Internship professor, who will serve as a liaison between the Counselor Education Department and the Agency as needed concerning the requirements and objectives of Practicum and/or Internship. The Practicum and/or Internship professor will meet with the on-site Supervisor in person at least one time during the semester to discuss the student’s progress, concerns, and the Internship site.
