10. Forms! Process Recordings
Instructions for completing your Process Recordings are available in the School Documents section under the header Student Assignment in the PDF titled “Instructional Booklet Learning Agreement and Process Recordings”.
Why do you have 6 assigned process recordings? You have 4 options for completing each of the three process recording assignments this semester – you can decide which format you’d like to complete your process recording in based on your own preference. For each due date, the forms “Group Columns” and “Columns” have already been added to your account. Choose one of these if you prefer the column format.

11. Process Recordings! Continued
Alternatively, you have the option of completing a narrative process recording. These forms are available in the Forms drop-down menu (same location as the “Change of Contact Information – Student” form).
To complete a narrative process recording (either for a group or an individual session), you must add the form in a particular way:
Select either Process Recording – Group Narrative or Process Recording – Individual Narrative from the drop-down menu and click add.
2) When your form pops up at the bottom of your forms list, PLEASE MAKE SURE to choose your correct Placement Group from the drop-down menu on the front of the form.
3) Then choose your current field placement Agency from the second drop-down menu.
NOT COMPLETING THESE TWO STEPS WILL MAKE YOUR FORM INACCESSIBLE TO YOUR FIELD INSTRUCTOR AND FIELD LIAISON, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-ADD A NEW FORM IN ORDER TO ASSIGN IT CORRECTLY!
