Informazioni sul libro
Helps students to integrate social work education with field placement learning experiences in a purposeful, reflective, and unified manner
This authoritative text is designed to help BSW and MSW students structure their field placement learning around the nine CSWE profession social work competencies to maximize their field placement learning opportunities. The new second edition is completely updated with the 2022 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS). Learning activities in each chapter provide examples of field placement tasks and projects related to chapter topics and competencies. The second edition also threads new content on anti-racism, diversity, equity, inclusion, and rights-based approaches to social work practice throughout.
The chapters in Part I focus on helping students have a successful field placement experience. Each chapter in Part II focuses on a specific professional competency with substantive content on the competency. All chapters have field reflection questions, critical thinking questions, a detailed case summary illustrating one or more competencies with discussion questions, learning activities and electronic competency resource links to websites and videos. Instructors will welcome chapter PowerPoints and an Instructor's Manual with case assignments, grading rubrics, and peer-to-peer small group discussion assignments.
