Supervision Log/Journal Entry

Order Description
No APA required, I need the Summary of experiences to be re-worded to flow right, you can edit however you want and I need the Reflective Feelings and the Reflective Thoughts completed. I will
upload an example.

Summary of experiences
I arrived at the office about 8am, I started my day by pulling and reviewing clients records for today’s appointments. My supervisor and I had a appointment with a new client that got referred to
us from one of our clients in Las Vegas, NV. I did not recognize the client name, so it was ok for me to see him with my supervisor. I do forget names but never a face I told her. Our Appointment
was not for hour and some minutes so we decided to talk about any conflicts that I may have here. We talked about my work at the hospital and that I know a lot of staff there, we talked about have
any clients spoke to me at my work place, I told her about one client that works at the hospital as a housekeeper and when he sees me he always asks me about his case. I tell him, you would need to
contact Miss Lira for anything dealing with your case and then I tell him, I need to get back to work. We talked about adding a section on the intake about work place, and talking to her clients
that come in that work at the VA, about the rules and laws that govern privacy and that I am an intern and not an employee. That I do not work on any cases that have clients working at the VA. The
paper work for I wrote up and filed for our Non-profit came back approved. I started working on a list of clients that may want to be recorded for our video; the clients will tell their story on
why they came to us for help.

Reflective Journaling:
In experiential learning you are both a participant and observer. As a participant, you will be contributing to the organization/agency in which you are placed and learning new skills. But this is
not what makes the experience worthy of academic credit. The academic component of your Field Practicum results from your ability to systematically observe what is going on around you. This
requires a kind of mental gymnastics that does not come without training and tools. A well- written journal is a tool, which helps you practice the quick movements back and forth from the
environment in which you are working to the abstract generalizations you have read about or heard in class.
How do you write a reflective journal?
You should write an entry for each day you attend your Field Practicum and it should be written immediately after leaving the Field Practicum when possible. A journal is not a diary – you are not
merely recounting the happenings of the day. It should not be a bulleted list. Often you will use your journal to record detailed descriptions of some aspect of your internship environment, whether
physical, behavioral, or organizational. When you write out this information, you may not have a clear idea of what you will make of these details, but you will sense that they might be important
later. You should write your journal entry as a detailed description as if to an outsider. These descriptions should sound as if you were describing them to someone who was never there.

Tentative explanations:
At times you will want to speculate as to why something that you have observed firsthand is as it is. You might derive your explanation from a lecture you have heard, a book you have read, or your
own reservoir of “common sense”.

Personal judgments:
Less often you can use your journal to make judgments about something in your Field Practicum environment. There may be people’s actions that you find unpleasant, ways of doing things that are not
as you would do them, work environments in which you would not want to remain. These judgments will help you learn about yourself, your values and your limits. Journals allow you to speak your
mind.
Reflection is the key to getting meaning from your service experience. What is reflection? It is a process by which students in Field Practicum think critically about their experiences. Reflection
can happen through writing, speaking, listening, and reading about the service experiences. Why is reflection important? Learning happens through a mix of theory and practice, thought and action,
observation and interaction. It allows students to learn from themselves.
Requirements:
Students are required to complete the Reflective Journaling section each day that they report to their agency.
“Summary of Experiences” Students will complete this section stating what specific interactions, conversations, environments and experiences they were involved in for each day. (250 word minimum)
“Reflective Feelings” Students will complete this section offering a true reflection of their feelings in regard to their experiences and interactions each day. (150 word minimum)
“Reflective Thoughts” Students will complete this section offering a true reflection of the student’s thoughts in regard to their experiences and interaction experienced each day. (150 word
minimum)
Self-Reflection can take time to refine and reflective journaling is one of the best ways to develop this important skill. Please see the example Supervision Log/Journal Entry Form below to gain
further understanding of the expectations for reflection.
