When you identify areas in which the student needs to improve, be specific about the deficiency, the expectation and resources that can assist the student.  You may wish to formalize these expectations for improvement in writing, including dates for review and completion.  Consult with the faculty member about formalizing such improvement plans.  Whether or not an improvement plan becomes a written and/or official document, assure that you, the student, and the faculty member share the same understanding of improvement needed and expectations.  Improvement plans may also be outlined by the student for areas in which he or she has identified a need for improvement.

In the box below, create a learning plan for some aspect of practice that might be especially challenging to a student who is working with you.
