Hi Roosa
VastaaPoistaOk, the blog works fine.
It is good to have quite concrete learning goals as I think you have written so far. I wish that, during these weeks, you will reflect how did you achieve all the goals you have stated. Usually I want that student write mostly about what they have learned but of course I´d like you blog about what you have done, experienced etc - I mean also about not-so-goal-related things.
Please check out the assessment/evaluation criterias I send to you. When your practicing proceeds, you could easily add some of the key goals for you from that paper. Like interaction skills, team work skills (as you have already mentioned) and one-to-one therapeutic relationship skills are very important when practicing. It´s good to ask from you mentor (ohjaaja) about their points of view, too.
Let blog actively!
Kind regards
