What Might Further AE Practicum Modules Look Like?
One of our learnings is that people take the AE Practicum with different goals in mind. The traditional 2-year attempted to cover those and allow for both professional skill growth, personal growth, and support those seeking to be better facilitators and leaders. This evolved design allows us to create a stronger foundation for all participants, and then adapt specialized future offerings to match the interests and desire of those who might continue.
