Overview
The Council of Social Work Education has introduced ten competencies for students to work towards in their field placement experience. We have incorporated these competencies within a broader framework composed of six concepts. Please explain how you and your agency will address these areas in the Goals and Learning Plan/Practicum Contract. We recognize that each site provides various learning opportunities; therefore, supervisors can tailor their answers as needed to reflect their agency’s unique mission and goals. The 10 Competencies include:
#1 PROFESSIONALISM (REFERS TO COMPETENCY 1)
2. ETHICS (REFERS TO COMPETENCY 2)
3. POLICY/RESEARCH (REFERS TO COMPETENCIES 6 & 8)
4. CRITICAL THINKING AND THE USE OF SUPERVISION (REFERS TO COMPETENCIES 3 & 7)
Please have a discussion about the importance of supervision and the ways that it provides value to the learning experience during the course of fieldwork.
5. DIVERSITY, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE (REFERS TO COMPETENCIES 4,5,&7)
6. PRACTICE & ENGAGEMENT, ASSESSMENT, INTERVENTION, EVALUATION (REFERS TO COMPETENCIES 9 & 10)
