Abstract

OBJECTIVES

•Learn about a matrix guided tool utilized to plan and structure unique fieldwork experiences.

•Identify key elements associated with “matrix” implementation.

•Understand multi-faceted uses of the manual.

BACKGROUND - NONTRADITIONAL FW

•More community-based sites are needed to meet FW placement demand

•Typically, these FW sites rely upon non-traditional, distant supervision.

•These learning environments require high degree of structure to support experiential self-directed learning

•High structure requires detailed planning

•A planning matrix method to maximize the learning environment is proposed.
