City Lit Communication in this class To support people with a hearing loss we will follow these guidelines: Please indicate before you speak so that everyone can look at you first. Please only speak one at a time. If it’s a quick one sentence comment/question – I can repeat, but otherwise please wait for the radio aid mic to be passed to you before you speak. Please keep background noise to a minimum when possible I will use the Powerpoint and board a lot to write up information. Everyone will have access to the notetaker’s notes electronically – more about this later.

City Lit Introductions 1.Introduce yourself to the group– name, where you work, your job role 2.Speak to the person next to you. Find 1 thing you have in common with them– apart from your job and doing this course!

Evidence Portfolio - see brief Witness statements Reflective learning journals Personal development plan (Unit 7 audiology team placement) Placement report (Unit 8 sensory team placement) How to submit the Evidence Portfolio

City Lit Placements Start getting the wheels in motion for both now…. Unit 7 Audiology placement - aim for any time between now and early April 2015 Unit 8 - aim for some time between April and Sept 2015 – though sooner is fine - aim is to see different assessment procedures/approaches, so can’t be done in our own team. Best to choose an organisation that would be different to yours. Best to avoid teams of others on the course unless cannot be avoided.
