Integrating Your Skills for the Future
We have integrated a number of ways to practice coaching skills including a "peer coaching process." Students will be assigned to a 3-member peer coaching team to practice the skills learned in class. In addition, all students will have the opportunity to participate in a mentored coach practice session with one of the instructors. More information about the peer coaching process will be explained during the on-site session.
Mayo School of Health Sciences uses these evaluative tools:
- Demonstration of skills
- Self-assessment exercises
- Faculty reviews
Mayo's system of evaluation provides students and faculty with a comprehensive look at individual performance. This allows faculty and administrative staff to direct students who are experiencing academic difficulty to the appropriate support resources.
