Field Education Forms
A Form-by-Form GuideWhen a student and an officially listed site come to agreement to do a field education placement together, the student and the supervisor must submit a Placement Contract (PDF) to the Office of Ministry Studies. This contract informs us of which students are intending to perform field education in what settings. The Placement Contract also informs us of stipend information and acts as an application for work-study funding of the placement, if such funding applies. In those placements funded by work-study, both the student and the supervisor will be required to sign an Affidavit (PDF) acknowledging that they understand and will conform to the federal regulations governing the use of these funds. If the site in which the student wishes to complete a field education placement is not an official site of Harvard or any other Boston Theological Institute (BTI) school, the student must complete a Student-Initiated Application (PDF). If that application is approved, the student and the site must complete the Placement Contract (PDF) and other documents above. If the site in which the student wishes to complete a field education placement is affiliated with another BTI school, then the student must receive permission to contact the other school's field education department (Permission Form) (PDF). See the BTI Policy (PDF) governing students in sites other than their own school. Once a Harvard student and a site sponsored by another BTI school have agreed on a placement together, the student will file the Placement Contract (PDF). Thereafter, the student will complete the paperwork requirements of and submit them to the other school. In all placements at official Harvard settings or approved student-initiated settings, students and supervisors must negotiate a thorough Learning Agreement (PDF) and complete a Mid-Year Evaluation (PDF) and a Final Evaluation (PDF) according to the published schedule. (For summer placements, a mid-year evaluation is not required.) If a Learning Agreement, Mid-Year Evaluation, or Final Evaluation is to be turned in after the due date, an Extension must be requested three days in advance of the deadline, by the student in person in the Office of Ministry Studies. The Office of Ministry Studies requires a one-hour supervisory session weekly. In those sessions we strongly recommend the consistent use of theological and other reflection reports, in order to help focus and improve the quality of supervision. For your convenience we have developed nine different Reflection Report (PDF) forms for your use. Either the student or supervisor may initiate their use.
