I started SIM
apprenticeship in June of 2019 until June 2020. I feel like my mentor will be
able to support me into the future. The experience
at the SIM™ institute last summer exceeded all expectations. The presenters were well prepared. They led by example and careful attention was
paid to every detail of learning. I
immediately wanted to be able to offer my future participants a similar
experience.
Helen Barrier
is my mentor. She has so much expertise
and is always willing to share her experience and information. She supported me through planning and
delivering my first few presentations and overviews. Helen is always available to talk through
concerns and brainstorm ideas for overcoming perceived hurdles. The feedback she provides help me grow as a
presenter, teacher, and learner. She has
a way of distilling a lot of information into what is most essential to
understand. I was able to integrate her
confirming and corrective feedback into future SIM™ presentations. I always hear her voice whispering in my ear,
nudging me to remember the principles of adult learning and think of creative
ways to engage my participants.
Jocelyn
Washburn was able to provide support through planning and presenting a SIM™
presentation and overview. Jocelyn has a
wealth of experience and knowledge. She
helped with resources and ideas for the presentation. She walked me through what paperwork was need
to turn in and where to access it. Her
down to earth personality makes her easy to approach when questions arise. Her feedback and insights helped me grow as a
professional.
