Site Staff Assessing a Field Experience Binder

Note: Please avoid using Tk20 in multiple tabs and have it open only in one tab/browser at a time. Also, refrain from using the back button, as this may cause your session to time out and your work may not be saved. To have the best experience and ensure that your data is safely stored, please use only one tab when accessing Tk20.

Getting Started

After a Field Experience binder is sent out to a student, respective site staff will receive an email on the date their assessment tools are released. This email will contain a link that can be used to access the assessment tool within Tk20. To access the binder directly, click the link.

Note: If you have not received this email, check your spam folder. If you still do not see an email, please contact your partner institution’s Tk20 Unit Administrator.
