I'd sit your student down for a chat just so they know what you are expecting and check that they're happy with what they have to do and aren't experiencing any problems :) I've found setting targets for either a percentage or a section to be completed is quite good for motivating students. Even pinning it up in prep can be helpful :)

As far as your input goes it's the responsibility of the student to get involved, get the case details and log everything. If it is that they simply aren't motivated, it may be worth having the "This is your NPL I'm here to help but I'm not doing it for you" chat and speaking with the college.

Tell the student to carry a notebook and write down everything they do each day. Cleaning a kennel, approaching a patient, transporting a patient, mopping a floor etc etc. Then sit down with the student and take a look at where these things can be logged. once the student gets the hang of it-hopefully they can come to you with cases. If they are still not doing so, then maybe you need to ask them why. Do they lack confidence? Unsure what is expected of them? Just plain lazy?! Good luck!

Goals for your student should be set out at your weekly meeting. You need to discuss what you want your student to be achieving over the 2 week logging period.I had my student looking at his NPL every morning to see if anything would fit into his day.It is hard to fit it in but it shouldnt be up to you to get the cases. Also remind your student that you are not the one that needs the qualification.!! Input from the student is vital otherwise it will run away with them being left behind.Good Luck!!
