- Integrate student self-assessment when appraising performance: Student self-assessments will help ensure that the student feels they have a role to play in the assessment process and provides the employer with a well-rounded perspective of the student’s performance. This involves requesting students to conduct an either written or oral self-evaluation that an employer can review and verify as is appropriate.
- Integrate feedback from multiple sources: To ensure evaluations of student performance is fair, inclusive, and comprehensive, supervisors are advised to gather the insights of others who have interacted with the student, including employees, managers, and student peers.
- Conduct regular check-ins: Check-ins during the placement are important for ensuring that students remain on-track and engaged. Frequent check-ins are all the more necessary for remote or e-WIL opportunities that many employers have pivoted to as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise.
