 | Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman Evening :-) Q1 ans. for me: student has been supported to develop knowledge, skills, experience in an area, and also confidence, awareness of strengths and weaknesses for next placement/work. "Just Right Challenge" where placement has met their learning and personal needs #OTalk https://t.co/FjLs8vAfqM |

 | UWOT @UoW_OT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Gah - #OTalk - sorry! |
 | Jeni Woods @Jeni_woods_OT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Learning, being taken out of your comfort zone as a practitioner. It’s so easy to get complacement in what we do. Exchange of knowledge between student and practice educator #OTalk |
 | Esther Brimacombe @escb75 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Seeing progression with skills and growing confidence #OTalk |
 | deb_OT @dmay_ot Q1. How would you define a successful practice placement? - one where you get lots of opportunities to see, do and ask questions; where you can improve without being told 'you're wrong' even if you make mistakes. ~#OTalk |
 | Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @Lucygordon83 #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 Seeing the OT process carried out in that setting and then collaborating with your educator to start leading sections of it. #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @margaretOT360 Yes I love this point. It's two way learning for both the student and educator ✨ #OTalk |
 | Kelly S @KellyOT RT @OTalk_: Carolina here! 10 minute warning for tonight's chat! #OTalk https://t.co/WXSApHNCd2 |

 | Emma Robinson @EmmaRobinsonOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ 1. A successful placement? An educator putting their OT skills into practice...building a good/trusting working/learning relationship, grading responsibility, empathising and being open minded - students & educators learn from each other #OTalk |
 | SpiderMom @SpiderMom72 @Lucygordon83 I think one aspect of a successful placement would be that it provides lots of opportunity for 'just right' challenges. #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ Absolutely. I did so much reflecting travelling out to see people in the car with my educator. #OTalk |
| Elizabeth @ElizabethJH85 #Otalk, also learning about and from professionals whilst on placement and how their roles interact with OT |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @Lucygordon83 Having many learning opportunities to help you to develop your skills and confidence. Alongside a supportive educator & team! #OTalk |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty @dmay_ot @OTalk_ Definitely! Sometimes our best learning comes from when something we do doesn't go to plan, the student and educator working together to make help them improve for next time is key! Also you can never ask too many questions #OTalk |
| amy gowdridge @AGowdridge Also to open and honest from student and educator to build a trusting relationship #OTalk |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @BethanyChitty Supervision in all guises is really important #OTalk |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @BethanyChitty Definitely agree with this - I found reflections difficult at first, but placement definitely allowed me to improve this skill and to see how important reflection is #OTalk I was able to develop from mid-way point after completing a reflection! |
 | Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ For me, it’s a chance to put theory into practice and learn from educator and clients, plus the MDT. Also, by researching the field and current best practice the student can open up new ideas to the educator #OTalk |

| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @kerri_schOT @mrsmcinburtott Definatley! I have been so fortunate to have such supportive educators who have always encouraged me to talk to them at anytime with worries and ideas 😊 #OTalk |
| Elizabeth @ElizabethJH85 #Otalk also learning from and about other professional's whilst on placement to understand their interaction with OT and the service users |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lots of people tonight making the important point that learning is a two-way street on placement - educators can learn from students just as much as vice-versa! #OTalk https://t.co/yNWLnxPGFs |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 Support seems to be mentioned in a lot of comments - where would we all be without it :) #OTalk |
 | Louise @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Q1: Seeing the student develop knowledge and skills, acheiving learning objectives, becoming more of an OT throughout their placement. Students who question knowledge, give views, reflect on their practice and others #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @BethjmOT What sort of learning opportunities have you had Beth? #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @kerri_schOT @mrsmcinburtott @Lucygordon83 I agree, being able to talk to your educator! Feeling comfortable asking questions and reflecting on experiences is so beneficial to our learning #OTalk |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty @beckycooper___ Its not always easy at first but it definitely helps with learning. Plus it doesn't need to be done formally. Some of my most useful times of reflection as a student were a debrief in the car with my educator after a visit. #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ I think my best learning was the educator who pushed me and challenged me in front of patients. I trusted her and I knew she had my back so I could take risks. Some aid off, some could have been better which provided lots of learning #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @RachieRuu I love the point about working at your own pace and being supported with this ✨ #OTalk |

 | Lisa @OT_LisaB #OTalk Q1 I think a good placement is when student q's and observations enable clinicians to reflect on and develop their own practice & clinicians model practice that enables students to critique and practically apply the academic models and theories they have learnt at uni |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @ElizabethJH85 Definitely agree with this!! I don’t think we learn enough about other professions and their roles at university until you go out on placement and experience working with them! #otalk |
 | Louise Crisp 💫 @louisecrisp5 @Lucygordon83 #OTalk sorry |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @EmmaOT2B @OTalk_ Love this point about two way learning! This seems to be a common point 💚👍🏻 #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 RT @beckycooper___: @Lucygordon83 Having an opportunity to apply learnt theory to a practical setting to consolidate the taught knowledge,… |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu @Lucygordon83 Yes! I feel that being supported to work at my own pace, and do things when I feel comfortable makes me feel more confident, and less rushed, which can lead to them being more successful! #Otalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Students often find questioning knowledge tricky but it’s really important isn’t it? #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @beckycooper___ Definatley! Great to be able to share knowledge that we have learnt at Uni! ✨ #OTalk |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @BethanyChitty That's great - hadn't thought of a debrief as an informal reflection but it definitely is! Thank you! #OTalk |

| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Great to see lots of news faces around tonight #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @EmmaOT2B @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Think its definitely important for both students and educators to learn from each other and build a trusting relationship! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interprofessional learning is definitely very important! #OTalk https://t.co/NiuHOD5efp |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @mrsmcinburtott: @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Students often find questioning knowledge tricky but it’s really important isn’t it? #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @Jeni_woods_OT @OTalk_ It is great to be encouraged to step out of your comfort zone.. it's sometimes scary but you can learnt a lot! ✨ #OTalk |

| Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman Agreed. People wont be able to do their best if they feel worried, intimidated, put down, or like they have to do everything exactly in a certain way or it's wrong #otalk https://t.co/T92UfaD9rV |
 | Charlotte Gould @OT_Charlotte @Lucygordon83 Being given lots of opportunities to see multi disciplinary working, seeing the ‘real world’, being supported by PEs and the whole team, being spoken to as a member of the team and not just a student! And having control of your goals of placement- I’ve been so lucky #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @Lucygordon83: @kerri_schOT @mrsmcinburtott Definatley! I have been so fortunate to have such supportive educators who have always encou… |
 | Solei OT 🌻 @soleinj_ @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Feeling and being treated as a valued member of the team was always really important for me. Being valued as a student occupational therapist, enables you to feel comfortable to learn and ask questions. In turn, this helps you to become a competent practitioner #OTalk |
| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Also, from a role emerging perspective: Showing the #valueofOT making ourselves seem and heard, and making a measurable difference to our clients and the placement #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 RT @ElizabethJH85: @Lucygordon83 #Otalk, learning and experiencing first hand, the OT process in a particular setting that is new to you |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @mollharrisOT @ElizabethJH85 IPL is a challenge on campus - it’s really consolidated when you are on placement I think #OTalk |
| Lisa @OT_LisaB @ElizabethJH85 #otalk Definitely, this works both ways as well and helps other professionals learn about occupational therapy from the students |
 | Kirstie @Kirstie_OT 13 minutes into the chat and ive finally corrected the date on the blog 😂. #BetterLateThanNever. Great to have an #OTalk on placement being hosted & supported by two passionate student. 👍🏼 @Lucygordon83 @colourful_ot https://t.co/ZSZsu5X6Sv |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty @Jeni_woods_OT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ It is definitely a learning experience for both. I always find when a student asks questions and discusses differing opinions, it really helps you to explore your own clinical reasoning more. #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @RachieRuu @Lucygordon83 Yes i think for educators it's about every student being different and working in their own way. Having our educators support this, give us feedback and to bring out the best in us #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 So many brilliant ideas... @OTalk_ moving on to Q2. How can students and practice educators work together to ensure student placements are successful? #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @beckycooper___ @Lucygordon83 Surely you need to leave with increases in allof those things? Increase in knowledge, skills and qualities? #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @OTalk_ Finding the #302CC module at @CovUniOT really helpful to learn more about other professions and sharing placement experiences! #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 @mrsmcinburtott it’s so important & i’d say it’s also really important during your transition from student to practitioner too!! having a supportive manager eases you in! #otalk |
| amy gowdridge @AGowdridge @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Yes it is tricky but very useful so both can understand each other’s perspective and then learn from each other #OTalk @OTalk_ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @HelenArnfieldOT: @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Also, from a role emerging perspective: Showing the #valueofOT making ourselves seem and heard,… |

| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @mrsmcinburtott @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 It definitely is tricky but so important! The foundation of any profession is based on tried and tested research/studies so questioning our practice educator's knowledge can help to develop our own as well as providing areas of research for us to look in to #OTalk |
| SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @OT_Charlotte @Lucygordon83 Totally agree about feeling part of the team, makes a real difference to the experience if you feel that your contributions are valued #Otalk |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT I Think A Student Has To Go Into It Willing And Motivated To Learning & For The Educators To Provide The Opportunities To Meet This Motivation. #OTalk https://t.co/ag4Bd9IFMg |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @BethjmOT: @kerri_schOT @mrsmcinburtott @Lucygordon83 I agree, being able to talk to your educator! Feeling comfortable asking questions… |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot I felt so comfortable on my last placement and so much part of the team that, actually, I've found going back to uni really, really hard! #otalk |
 | Amy O'Donnell @amyruby_OT #otalk Good evening! Amy here :)- I’m on placement right now and definitely think that seeing placement as an ‘opportunity’ rather than something you ‘have to pass’ helps. I try to squeeze as much out of my placement opportunities so I can learn more! |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @EllenChisman I guess that’s the time to ask for support from your university tutors #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Lucygordon83: So many brilliant ideas... @OTalk_ moving on to Q2. How can students and practice educators work together to ensure stude… |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @mollharrisOT @ElizabethJH85 I too agree. It really helped me on placement to shadow other professions and understand their role within the MDT. My educator encouraged this! #OTalk |
| Charlotte Gould @OT_Charlotte @BethjmOT @RachieRuu @Lucygordon83 I agree with this, being in control of your goals for placement come into this too- going at your own pace and setting goals which you want to achieve #OTalk |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty @SpiderMom72 @Lucygordon83 Yes! I think its as important to grade opportunities for students as we may grade other activities with clients we work with. Its enough to push them so that they learn but also allows them to feel secure and not to lose any confidence. #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 100% students need to be put at ease to bring out the best and then introduce new learning slowly #otalk https://t.co/bdcX1tBrL9 |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @margaretOT360 for sure!! learning doesn’t always need to be serious, sharing a laugh helps you get to know your educators and patients too! #otalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @mrsmcinburtott @Lucygordon83 Yes Sian, You can really tell a lot about how much someone knows based on the questions that they ask #OTalk |
| Charlotte Gould @OT_Charlotte @smb1607 @Lucygordon83 Definitely, feeling valued completely changes the whole placement experience and is so important! #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @EllenChisman I love being able to reflect after visits or during supervision, it's all mainly positive! But I know I'd feel comfortable to be honest with my educators without being intimidated #OTalk |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty RT @HelenArnfieldOT: @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Also, from a role emerging perspective: Showing the #valueofOT making ourselves seem and heard,… |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @beckycooper___: @Lucygordon83 Having an opportunity to apply learnt theory to a practical setting to consolidate the taught knowledge,… |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @OT_Charlotte @BethjmOT @RachieRuu After all we are great at goal setting as occupational therapists #OTalk |
| Emma Robinson @EmmaRobinsonOT @mrsmcinburtott @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Definitely important! Finding the right time to ask questions, and knowing when to use initiative and look things up and do more research, or ask can be tricky 🤔 #OTalk |
| Elizabeth @ElizabethJH85 @OT_Charlotte @Lucygordon83 Definitely, being valued as a team member makes such a difference. #OTalk |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Absolutely - just showing the variety of gains to be made from a successful practice placement ☺️ #OTalk |
 | Erin Cullen @Erin_newOT @Lucygordon83 I think feeling challenged/stretched, but coming away more confident in my skills as a therapist than at the start, is how I'd think of a successful placement #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @BethanyChitty @Jeni_woods_OT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ We encourage it from our students but they don’t always find it easy to question their educators #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @Lucygordon83 @ElizabethJH85 Same it’s interesting to learn other professional perspectives and roles! #otalk |
| Amy O'Donnell @amyruby_OT As long as students and practice educators have the same end goal it should go smoothly! Also being welcomed into the team makes such a huge difference I agree :) #otalk |
 | Jessica @jessicaeemerson RT @OTalk_: Lots of people tonight making the important point that learning is a two-way street on placement - educators can learn from stu… |
| Orla @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Supervision sessions should be planned and treated as important opportunities to reflect and set clear goals for each week. Also, the atmosphere should be no question is too complex or too stupid. #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @Lucygordon83: So many brilliant ideas... @OTalk_ moving on to Q2. How can students and practice educators work together to ensure stude… |
| SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Communication, communication, communication! The most successful placements I've had are when educators and I have worked together to understand how I learn best #Otalk. |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu I also think to be successful it's important to not compare placements? I initially thought I wasn't doing so well on my current placement, based on my thoughts from my first, when in reality the two are totally different, and so can't be compared #otalk |
| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Ooo I love a good list of questions 😊 #otalk |
| amy gowdridge @AGowdridge Be clear from@the start that questions from students are very welcome and constant communication between student and educator so both can feel comfortable bringing up any topic which could impact@on the placement experience #OTalk @OTalk_ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @orlatheot: @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Supervision sessions should be planned and treated as important opportunities to reflect and set clear… |
| Solei OT 🌻 @soleinj_ This is SO important! Appreciation of and being able to value other professional’s roles can only be achieved by actively learning about and spending time with different members of the MDT #OTalk https://t.co/8gsF9EpnGo |
| UWOT @UoW_OT @mrsmcinburtott @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 It gets less tricky with practice though, and the best educators are those who actively encourage students to question them #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 @mrsmcinburtott getting to know your educator/having a chat and just being yourself helps the process I think .. after all you have to have a fab personality to be an OT in the first place 😉😂 #otalk |
| Louise Crisp 💫 @louisecrisp5 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Communication is key! Being open and honest about your abilities, what you want to get out of the placement and what the expectations are of you #OTalk |
| Esther Brimacombe @escb75 @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Are you questioning their knowledge or getting them to challenge the evidence? Either way it is tricky, as they can feel under the spotlight or feel pressured to give the right answer -sometimes there is no right answer. #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @dmay_ot As a university tutor I like that :) I love it when students feel so much part of the setting #OTalk |
 | Ben Kirkwood 🪐 @OT_BenK #OTalk @Lucygordon83 I believe weekly supervision is vital and if you get stuck ask for help regardless of the question they are there to help you succeed! |

| Charlotte Gould @OT_Charlotte @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Making the most of supervision and conversations throughout the week, stay on the same page, make your goals clear and collaborate on these goals together! Communicate- reflecting on different situations, be honest with how you feel and ask questions! #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @EllenChisman: Agreed. People wont be able to do their best if they feel worried, intimidated, put down, or like they have to do everyth… |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Brilliant point. Supervisions should be pre planned and viewed as a time for students & educators to share, reflect and learn. The student should feel like they can ask any question #OTalk https://t.co/QLtaNIPJ0N |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @OTalk_ I think that being around students is a great confidence boost for newly qualified therapists, great opportunity to teach others what you know, and see how far you have come from student days #OTalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT I Think Students Have To Identity Their Own Learning Objectives (Taking Into Account The Overall Skills Needed For Occupational Therapy) Before Getting To Placement & The Educator Can Then Find Setting Specific Experiences To Meet These. #OTalk https://t.co/WRYvknatPu |
 | Box Positive CIC @charles_delve @Lucygordon83 Ideally the educator is a role model and evidences through action the purpose and importance of theory, therefore inspiring the student. Allow the student to be autonomous when able, giving positive feedback when practice is good and constructive criticism when needed. #OTalk |
| Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman Yes good point! Very important to remember that avenue of support when on placement #otalk https://t.co/QxECPbNnwA |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty Being clear on learning objectives.

| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ For me, honesty is so important in the student/educator relationship! Educators giving us regular feedback about our performance is beneficial to our learning. Making the most of supervision to work together, reflect and think about the following week! #OTalk |

| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ It's important to be able to accept feedback from your educator and then to be adaptable to make any changes, if necessary. This info could be obtained through supervision/student initiative. Open and honest relationships between student and PE are key to this. #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Building that professional and supportive relationship! Being honest and open about needing help and advice, also being pushed/put out of comfort zone a little has helped me to develop my confidence further! #otalk |

| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty Communication is also important to ensure a successful placement. As a student you should be honest if you feel uncomfortable about something or if you need extra support. In turn honest and constructive feedback from the educator is needed for learning #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @margaretOT360 I agree, but for an educator it can then be hard to shift in to increasing learning and expectations in such a short placement time frame #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @UoW_OT @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 I agree :) it shouldn’t be threatening to be questioned by a learner #OTalk |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu @OT_Charlotte Glad it's not just me! I think it's natural to compare against what we have previously achieved, but being aware of the differences is important in order to maintain our self confidence, and ensure we aren't too hard on our selves #OTalk |

 | Sara Rogers @SaraOT1980 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Plenty of opportunities for formal and informal supervision. Reflecting on your practice...both students and educators and being open and honest if something isn’t working. I visited prior to starting and discussed what I wanted to gain (eg increased equipment knowledge) #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @RachieRuu I completely agree, every setting is so different and you may feel like you are doing more/less than a previous placement but that doesn't mean you are not doing well. Its about making the most of the learning in that placement setting! #OTalk |
| Charlotte Gould @OT_Charlotte @RachieRuu Yep think it’s really common, and the mid way report highlighted this to me and really boosted my confidence! #OTalk |

 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Sorry for being late- have to get a walk in appointment to fix my phone. #otalk |
| Erin Cullen @Erin_newOT @RachieRuu I think that's really true- and applies to comparing with your peers as well- it's easy to worry you are behind when they're such vastly different experiences #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @carspring27 @smb1607 @Lucygordon83 On my placement my educator recommended the Honey and Mumford Learning Styles Questionnaire to identify my learning style, I found it very helpful! - Carolina #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Love this! I totally agree. Seize every opportunity, or create opportunities! This can be a great way of demonstrating so many core occupational therapy skills & values/beliefs #OTalk https://t.co/qW6YohHlO8 |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @OT_Charlotte @RachieRuu Really find mid-way reports so useful and informative, gives you that insight in to how other staff members are seeing you in practice which is so valuable! #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @OT_LisaB @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Can be challenging if the team are not completly consistent in approach though #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @ElizabethJH85 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Same I know this might not be the case for every student but this especially helped my confidence on my contemporary placement where I was out of my comfort zone the whole time! #otalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Great advice 👍🏻 #OTalk https://t.co/FgICrs9wx9 |
| Esther Brimacombe @escb75 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Be clear on expectations of the placement from student perspective and from supervisor. Sometimes students can be hard on themselves and set unrealistic goals. Communication is key. #OTalk |
| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @OT_LisaB @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Very much so, I always try and get to know the other team members and get involved in any group activity/intervention etc. I learn so much more that way #OTalk |

| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @AGowdridge @OTalk_ @Lucygordon83 Fab point! I guess it's asking yourself what you would do if you were qualified and in that position.. if something wasn't working it should definitely be questioned so as a student we should feel able and supported to do so if necessary #OTalk |

 | Sarah Sharland @SarahSharland19 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Sorry I’m late! As an educator, successful placements include open communication and two way reviews. I always try to be positive as well, more conducive to learning! Good supervision and goal setting help #OTalk |
| Lisa @OT_LisaB @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Yes certainly but helps students to learn about different styles and approaches of different educators #otalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @escb75 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ I think this is true. Students often forget how much experience an educator has and they can’t expect to replicate that on a placement #OTalk |
| Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman I agree with this too! My final placement required a lot of specialist knowledge e.g. anatomy, conditions etc before I could get going really, so I felt really behind at first but just required a different learning approach/trajectory over the time there #OTalk https://t.co/RTQeUo6ndl |

| amy gowdridge @AGowdridge @beckycooper___ @OTalk_ @Lucygordon83 I also think if a student felt their educator wasn’t being supportive and if this was effecting their placement as an educator I’d want to know @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman And also a role model for not being perfect or "right" all the time; they are learning too as that never ends, and seeing them reason and work things out can be really useful to see and discuss too #otalk https://t.co/8NP1h8VaSO |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @OTalk_ I think it’s sometimes hard to be honest when you’re focusing so hard on doing your best and learning.. you’re hearing others placements stories from other students and sometimes comparing their experiences to your own .. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Lucygordon83: Yes I agree. An educator can be a role model to us, inspire and lead us! #OTalk https://t.co/rMnmaUpykE |
| Erin Cullen @Erin_newOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Students - being really open to the experience - i know peers who have gone in with doubts about a setting and have unsurprisingly not had a good placement experience #otalk |
| Sarah Sharland @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ I’d like to think I’m open and approachable enough for a student to let me know if they’re struggling or worried. As an educator, I’d hope to pick up on that through supervision. I always tell students they can ask me whatever they want, no matter how silly it seems #OTalk |
| Bethany Chitty @BethanyChitty @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ I really like the no question too stupid. I think that if students are too worried about not wanting to ask something if it makes them sound silly it can mean you miss out on learning opportunities. Remember we all had those silly questions once, so don't worry :) #OTalk |

| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @OTalk_ Definitely - it does depend on the issue in hand though. As students, we should feel supported by our educator and university in raising any concerns in an appropriate way without that effecting the ongoing relationship with the PE. Sounds a tricky situation to be in! #OTalk |

| Louise Crisp 💫 @louisecrisp5 @charles_delve @Lucygordon83 I agree the inspirational educators for me are the ones that talk through what they are thinking and demonstrate a breadth of knowledge... taking that time to explain their reasoning too makes you feel valued #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Both student and educator knowing their strengths and weaknesses, learning and teaching styles is important #OTalk |

 | Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @UoW_OT @mollharrisOT @ElizabethJH85 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ I think it's all about establishing the right level of challenge and ensuring sufficient support - my latest educator was really great at knowing how far to push me so my confidence increased but I never felt out of my depth! #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ Students will tell us it is tricky. The power balance is not equal. Important to build trust so communication can be reliable #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ I think naturally as OT’s we can pick up on people’s body language and notice if they are struggling etc #otalk |

| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @OTKatieP @UoW_OT @ElizabethJH85 @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Yes definitely it’s important to have that mutual support and understanding! #otalk |
| Sarah Sharland @SarahSharland19 @Lucygordon83 To be honest, I absolutely love being an educator. I’m lucky to have a manager who is very supportive of placements. I want my students to have a positive experience of their placements to carry forward into their practice #OTalk |
| Emma Robinson @EmmaRobinsonOT @mollharrisOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Totally agree-no better feeling than being proud of something you achieved by stepping outside your comfort zone☺️ also my best educators have been less formal yet professional, & empathise by relating back to their student experiences (even if it was a long time ago 😉)#OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 So much easier than a complex question, what's not to like? #otalk https://t.co/WM9VgF2TBx |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @beckycooper___ @HelenArnfieldOT @OT_LisaB @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ I also found that I saw a different side to my patients when I went with the OT compared to the physio or the support worker. With other people, he would share his goals more easily; with the OT he said what he thought we wanted to hear. #OTalk |

| Sarah Sharland @SarahSharland19 @OTalk_ The most important thing they can bring is questions! Keeps us on our toes as educators and encourages reflection, also shows they are taking an interest. Students often are better at discussing new research and ideas #OTalk |

| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 I agree, I sometimes need to reign in my enthusiasm 😬 #otalk |
| latísh @tis7ha @Lucygordon83 Definitely new theories and perspectives applied to the setting and SU’s. Some practice educators qualified at basic grade whereas we’re familiar with bandings 5,6,7,8 which I think is important to share information to bridge the gap especially with the diversity of OT #OTalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ I think the point about questions is so important - it makes such a difference to work within a team where questions are actively encouraged and appreciated as an opportunity for everyone to learn, reflect and consider clinical reasoning! #otalk |

It would be great learning for me #OTalk |
| Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman @mrsmcinburtott Good Q!! Depends on the educator(s) - mine were aware of the challenges for students where I was & supported me @smb1607 I similarly put pressure on myself & they helped me plan objectives etc that met final placement competencies but also realistic, so I was lucky! #otalk |
| SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @carspring27 @mrsmcinburtott @EllenChisman That's a really good point. I actually find it quite reassuring as a student to know that educators don't always have all the answers either #Otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OTKatieP: @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ I think the point about questions is so important - it makes such a difference to work withi… |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu @Lucygordon83 A fresh prespective on how theory may be used in the area, and new knowledge when finding evidence to support practice. For example, I've been doing some research on creative writing for my placement, which has been great in helping me feel that I'm bringing something! #Otalk |
| Erin Cullen @Erin_newOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Educators- some of it shouldn't need saying, but things like respect are essential- being open to questions acknowledge that different styles can still be effective - and being open about expectations #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @ElizabethJH85 @mrsmcinburtott @EllenChisman When working in a complex area it is so clear when students put in extra effort to increasing their knowledge of the area - it really shows when it comes to their marking as the depth of understanding is so much more #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Ohhh yes so very true!! As students we can introduce new theory and ideas learnt at University 💚✨ #OTalk https://t.co/eWQL4HGZeZ |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @mrsmcinburtott @EllenChisman It's always difficult to know everything about a certain area but I have found meeting with my educator prior to placement really helpful. I ask if there is any reading/learning I can do to prepare and have found that I integrate better and understand more by doing this #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 RT @UoW_OT: @kerri_schOT @OTalk_ @Lucygordon83 Agreed - in my experience students underestimate the value of their recent theory! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @kerri_schOT: @UoW_OT @OTalk_ @Lucygordon83 I remember talking to an educator about the #kawamodel which they hadn’t heard of & they lov… |
| Solei OT 🌻 @soleinj_ @Lucygordon83 Student’s should not be afraid that they “don’t know everything” - that’s all part of learning! The important thing is to show that they are willing and ready to learn. Being aware of your own strengths/weaknesses is important and being able to discuss them. #OTalk |
| Emma Robinson @EmmaRobinsonOT @mrsmcinburtott @EllenChisman I think there’s an expectation that confidence, autonomy, prioritisation, etc is more refined on a final placement, though even qualified OTs have told me you’ll never know everything and never stop learning so this would be an unrealistic expectation for any student #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @BethanyChitty @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ My students will tell you I still ask silly questions even as an academic :) it’s the only way #OTalk |
| Helen @HelenArnfieldOT @dmay_ot @beckycooper___ @OT_LisaB @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ That’s a good point! I often find that clients tell a different story depending on who they are with (family) but have also seen them agree to things from other professionals and then totally ignore it as soon as they leave. #otalk |
 | Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @Lucygordon83 Being open and gave trust in one another! After failing my first placement I was so nervous going into another Placement, but as soon as I told them about my past experience everyone was so supportive and made sure that I felt comfortable which helped for the remainder! #otalk |

| latísh @tis7ha RT @UoW_OT: @kerri_schOT @OTalk_ @Lucygordon83 Agreed - in my experience students underestimate the value of their recent theory! #OTalk |
 | Anthea Cuppatea @anthea_cuppatea @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ A successful placement is one where good objectives are achieved. In 25 yrs I have never felt comfortable or confident in my skills, and I have never stopped learning. I expect my students to be keen also. And both my students got A s. #OTalk |

| latísh @tis7ha @Lucygordon83 Confidence I key. We have the power/knowledge to influence positive change, we should believe in ourselves and what we’ve learnt as students with new ideas for service enhancement #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Wow... running out of time with all this fantastic chat! @OTalk Now onto Q4. How can practice educators support students in their learning? #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 None of us know everything even after 30odd years there are things to learn everyday. Students help us to question our practice and ask ,'why?' #otalk https://t.co/8aNYVyg6Qs |

| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Great point! It's so important to prepared each week and have a clear idea of how you can develop #OTalk https://t.co/hKqV5PqTiY |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 Students are often great for suggesting and sometimes doing service development projects, brining in ideas from other areas #OTalk |
| Kate @KateWilsOT @Lucygordon83 I believe students bring a fresh insight into a service. They do not necessarily have an attachment to the place of work so they could generate new ideas about service improvements and potential ways to utilise space/resources that might not have been thought about 💡#OTalk |
| Alexandra Cheese @ACHEESEOT @charles_delve @Lucygordon83 Nice point charlsey boy!!!!! #otalk |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @Lucygordon83 It may be that a PE identifies a successful approach taken by a student with a client which they can then incorporate for future interventions #OTalk as individual OTs we will have different approaches and can learn these from each other. |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Thank you @mrsmcinburtott this is reassuring to hear! 😊 #OTalk https://t.co/YuUXavUi5f |
| Orla @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @otalk I think knowing each other’s learning styles from week one saves time and potential conflict straight away. I like being given the opportunity ‘learn on my feet’ whereas, others would not be comfortable with that. #OTalk |

Then asked her to explain and then I remembered! I think i live and breathe OT instinctively know and forget the original terminology. #OTalk |

| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 @otalk Second this point! Learning styles are so important and students should promote how they learn best. I am more of a theoretical learner and appreciate being pointed in the direction of relevant theory that I can then analyse and apply to practice #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A great question! People have already been suggesting ways educators can support students in response to the other questions - looking forward to seeing more insights for Q4! #OTalk https://t.co/Aa4OJwHkrY |

| Louise @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 @otalk Students do well when they have a relationshipwitht the educator that guides their learning, rather than an educator teaching them.

| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu My current placement is in low secure forensics, and so my educator being aware of the setting, and supporting my safety has been so essential in my learning! It's made me feel safe, and looked after in a setting where there is a lot of risk. #otalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 What a great idea!! There are so many people you can work with around you whilst on placement. Who may be able to support you and help you develop #OTalk https://t.co/k41bu8KQSl |
| Steven Harvey @stevenh_OT @Lucygordon83 @otalk I valued having a prep talk before completing sessions and a level of independence to enable development #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @beckycooper___ @Lucygordon83 @otalk Devils advocate here...... How do you demonstrate to your educator that you are trustworthy? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 for my observational one, I gave a treatment to my student during her 4th day of 5. I let her pick so that she can build her confidence. My goal was for her to do that treatment with minimal assist from me. #otalk |

| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 This is an important point! Feeling you can ask University if you need any extra support is important! #OTalk https://t.co/9fDd8QPrzO |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ The most important thing to remember (both for educators and students!) #OTalk https://t.co/cnmH8p2rRq |
| Ellen Chisman @EllenChisman I agree! Thank you everyone for getting me thinking more about my own thoughts I had and also some great points raised for me to ponder now too! :-) #otalk https://t.co/IvKOkDymBp |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 I also found it useful to link the code of ethics to aspects/circumstances of my placements.. to understand how to integrate ethics and legal requirements of being an OT into practice #otalk |

 | Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT Bit late this evening, but currently catching up on everyone’s contributions! I agree it is definitely a two way street in a placement setting. Having plenty of support & opportunities but also a proactive & enthusiastic students work well together #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Lucygordon83 Good question. I should make some resources to share with other students #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Lucygordon83 that student was intimidated by my professional title at first. She told me what she thought, "Crap! My clinical instructor has an OTD. Then, this guy is also my RA rep in AOTA." But then I assured her, "If you do your job, I will grade you fairly." #otalk |
| latísh @tis7ha I think this is particularly important to identify any barriers before you’re well into the placement. Placement is a collaborative endeavour between student and educator and identifying this helps to adapt to suit learning styles #OTalk https://t.co/OwXx0eFyWc |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 Some great ideas here for the final question! Thank you @OT_Charlotte #OTalk 💚✨ https://t.co/QlqoeSpeMG |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott Couldn’t say it better #OTalk https://t.co/4UvPkiI21G |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @beckycooper___ @BethanyChitty I actually told my observational students about what you guys are doing for your placement experiences... haha! #otalk |
| latísh @tis7ha @KateWilsOT @Lucygordon83 @otalk & I feel we can get very much fixated on what we’re doing not so well at that we don’t give ourselves enough credit for what we are achieving! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @AGowdridge: Also to be open and honest from student and educator to build a trusting relationship #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 @orlatheot Do you have any ideas? 💚✨ #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Placement can definitely provide opportunities for hands-on learning about ethics; can be challenging for us as students but it's a great learning experience #OTalk https://t.co/VblZtCwWnR |
| latísh @tis7ha @Lucygordon83 Definitely a diagram/poster type of learner if I can visually see how it related or an example that is clear to me is very helpful! #OTalk |
 | Emma Cavanagh @EmmaOTstudent @dmay_ot That was the same for me Deb #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot @BethanyChitty @OTalk_ If I ever had a hands on student (like a 8 weeker for OTA or 12 weeker for OTR), that would have been me. However, my workplace makes it hard to do so because of internal workplace dynamic plus the fact that the nursing home is small. #otalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT Well done @Lucygordon83 for hosting a great #otalk 😁 |

| Emma Robinson @EmmaRobinsonOT @Lucygordon83 @otalk Agree with the points already made! Just to add a flexible approach is important as no two students learn the same, and a relaxed and friendly approach (even in some of the more pressured settings) makes all the difference #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllenChisman That is why I told my student from day 1... please ignore the fact that I have accomplished all these things as an OT. I will be friendly and supportive of her experience. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @BethanyChitty @Jeni_woods_OT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Yes... that placement experience was a learning experience for me. For me, I got a bonus in terms of getting some feedback from my student's academic placement coordinator. That academic placement coordinator told me that I aced her expectations! #otalk |

| Kate @KateWilsOT So proud of the amazing @Lucygordon83 for hosting a fabulous #OTalk. I feel honoured to be your pal 👏🏼 can’t wait to see what amazing things you do when you qualify! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @beckycooper___ @mrsmcinburtott @Louisepenny87 @Lucygordon83 on the flip side, I quizzed my student of her clinical skills she should have learned in school (MMT, ROM testing, transfers, etc.) #otalk |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @ESpencerOT @Lucygordon83 This sounds intriguing - were you taught this during university or is this something you completed independently? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @smb1607 @OT_Charlotte @Lucygordon83 In the US, I think it will be a lot easier as a 8 or 12 weeker than a 1 weeker or once a week for 6-8 weeks. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Charlotte @BethjmOT @RachieRuu @Lucygordon83 What my student's school offered was nice- they sent me a brief profile (like a dating profile) of the student. I used that to help me plan her experience. #otalk |

 | KIRSTY OT @KIRSTY_OT @Lucygordon83 @otalk Bit behind tonight. It's important to know the learning needs of your student from day one & how best you can support that.. bearing in mind they are also responsible for their own learning. Each student is an individual and should be treated that way. We've all been there #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @beckycooper___ very good! It is important for clinical instructors to quiz their students of the skills they should know. #otalk |
| Becky Cooper @beckycooper_OT @BillWongOT Agreed - you would be expected to know it once qualified! #OTalk |
| Lucy gordon @Lucygordon83 RT @OTalk_: #OTalk finishing up for the evening - thank you so much @Lucygordon83 for hosting! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @mollharrisOT @Lucygordon83 @ElizabethJH85 That's why I required my student to attend a stand up meeting (similar to rounds in hospital setting) and care plan meeting in my setting. #otalk |
