Decision guide
How to use this ranking
Use this ranking when you need the right fieldwork document, a clearer supervision conversation, or an example of how another program structures objectives and weekly feedback.
Use it this way
- Start with the fieldwork role and task in front of you: student preparation, educator setup, weekly feedback, objectives, performance evaluation, or a concern that needs the academic coordinator.
- Open the AOTA guidance first when the question involves national expectations, supervision, or Level II purpose.
- Use state-association and university forms as examples, then compare them with the version your program and site require.
- Put feedback, objectives, responsibilities, and the next review date in writing before a small mismatch becomes a midterm surprise.
Decision factors
- Is this an official requirement, a recommended practice, or one program's example?
- Which form and evaluation system does the student's academic program require?
- Who should be involved now: the student, fieldwork educator, academic coordinator, site manager, or accessibility office?
- What specific behavior, support, and review date should be written down after the conversation?
