Students are rated using a five-point rating scale across different skill domains. Please skip (leave blank) any domains that do not apply to your site or clinical work.
1: Not Evident
Skill not evident most of the time (less than 25%). Student is unaware of the need to change. Supervisor must repeatedly model the skill required for the client to receive optimal care. Student does not change behavior despite support from the supervisor.
2: Emerging
Skill is inconsistent or inadequate, but emerging to 25-40% of the time. Student shows awareness of need to change behavior with supervisor input and modeling. Supervisor frequently provides instructions and support for all aspects of the skill.
3: Developing
Skill needs further development, refinement or consistency, but is present 40-70% of the time. Student is aware of the need to modify the behavior, but does not do this independently. Supervisor provides on-going monitoring and feedback; focuses on increasing student’s critical thinking and how/when to improve skill.
4: Adequate
Skill needs continued refinement or consistency, but is implemented most of the time (70-80%). Student is aware and can modify behavior in-session and can self-evaluate. Problem solving is independent. Supervisor acts as a collaborator to plan and suggest possible alternatives.
5: Consistent
Skill is consistent and well developed and is present 80-100% of the time. Student can modify own behavior as needed and is an independent problem solver. Student can maintain skills with other clients, and in other settings when appropriate. Supervisor serves as a consultant in areas where student has less experience. Supervisor provides guidance on ideas initiated by the student.
Every student will typically have 6 clinical experiences (4 at PSU and 2 off campus). Students can have up to 7 clinical experiences. Students must go on a support plan if they receive a grade of B- or below. Students need to repeat the clinic if they receive a grade of C or below. CALIPSO will automatically calculate a letter grade based on the ratings that are entered.
