Monthly Reflection - August
Use the attachments to record and submit your monthly reflection. You will need 3 images from your placement as evidence for your on-the-job learning during the month.

If you work in a placement where privacy law prevents you from taking onsite photos, use stock photos (pixabay.com or others) and describe how the photo relates to your placement.

Due:
Letters of Recommendation
Obtain three letters of recommendation. This assignment is for you to have letters of recommendation for prospective employers and colleges. A letter of recommendation provides an employer or college with a perspective about you they cannot get anywhere else. Be sure to include no more than one teacher reference. If at all possible, depending on whom you ask, it would be best if these were on company/school letterhead. Attach or scan all three letters. Include these letters in your portfolio. DO NOT submit photos of your letters.
Due:
Personalized Learning Plan - Part B
This document is not due until the end of the term. However, it is important to work on this during your placement. I recommend reading over Part B at the beginning of your placement so you know what type of information you will need to complete this section of your Personalized Learning Plan.
