Scoring the Level II Evaluation

 Scoring the Level II Evaluation

This program introduces the two new fieldwork performance evaluation forms (FWPE). It is intended to be a portable training program for the Academic Fieldwork Coordinators (AFWC) to take to their various clinical sites. A manual  provides further education and training required to fully understand and accurately use the forms.

Information about the forms, including pricing, is available in the AOTA Online Store.

How To Use This Program

It is important to understand the key differences between these new forms and the older fieldwork evaluation forms. AFWCs should review and study the notes pages, the FWPE forms, and both the downloadable documents and resource documents prior to presenting the Inservice in a Box. The forms were designed for use across all practice settings.

Impact of State Licensure Laws

Please note state licensure laws dictate the roles and responsibilities of the occupational therapist and occupational therapy assistant in practice. State licensure laws always supercede the AOTA guidelines.
