Penny,
You might ask them to observe the Leader, her posture and language. How  does 
she show mothers acceptance and support no matter where they are in their  
breastfeeding journey? How does she encourage interaction between the mothers  
(mother-to-mother support) especially when they are at different places in 
their  breastfeeding journeys? What active listening skills can they observe, and 
how  does that differ from the typical clinical evaluation? Do they see an 
advantage  to this type of interaction and determining the "root" issue for a  
mother?
Also, remember that men are not  always welcomed at La Leche League meetings. 
So, if you have any male students,  you may need to make special arrangements 
for them to attend.
Thank you for working so diligently to truly prepare these students to be  
caring and well informed,
Laura Wright

Subject: La Leche League and Students

You  were all so very generous shepherding my students these past eight weeks 
and  although I shared I was not continuing in teaching beyond this semester, 
I have  decided to continue one further semester in the clinical portion 
alone.  I  am not able to add an "assignment" like Lactnet into this course, but I 
have  manipulated the clinical hours and am requiring they attend a La Leche 
League  meeting.  My reason for writing, I need to create some sort of clever  
assignment for this experience.  Any ideas?  I could ask generic  questions 
about their experience, but wondered if anyone had any additional  suggestions?

Respectfully and Gratefully,
Penny Lane BA, MSN, CNM, IBCLC
