Do I need to use the same student for the entire practicum?

Although it is preferable to use the same student, the Academy realizes that certain situations are not always ideal for doing the practicum. You do not need the 100 hours of practicum to be with the same student you present in your application, but you should work with the student sufficient time to show progress through the scope and sequence. The Academy recommends at least 30 lessons with the practicum student.
