\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Our free form to help you ensure a student agrees that they are ready for their final high-stakes skill exam attempt.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a policy in your syllabus or student handbook which limits the amount of times a student may take a skills exam? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You should, and here is why:<\/strong> psychomotor examinations cost your program money (faculty time) and a student who is not doing their part should not be allowed to continue to pull those resources from candidates who are actually working and who deserve faculty support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in this day and age of “take it until you pass” policies, you will need documentation that the student agreed they were ready to take that final attempt. This form is to help you with that<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First,<\/strong> make sure that your syllabus (or student handbook or whatever document YOUR ORGANIZATION will recognize and back as “official”) which reflects how you will limit psychomotor exam attempts. Maybe you want to allow five tries instead of two. That is up to you, but there MUST be some stated LIMIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second,<\/strong> Download the Skills Remediation Form<\/a>, adjust the details to match your policy (and swap out the logo if you wish), and there ya go! We are planning to build such a form into Sterling Credentials,<\/a> but since we don’t yet have it, I’m providing it here for anyone who needs it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also amend the form to apply to your high-stakes written exams<\/strong>–just a student acknowledgement to protect you from later claims that, “I didn’t know I could possibly be dismissed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If YOU have developed your own form or guide or tool, and you’d like to share it with other EMS educators, please reach out to us hello@sterlingcredentials.com<\/a> and we can host it for you and attribute authorship. What did you have to build which you wish you’d just had on hand? Yeah, that stuff is what we’re looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
