FIELD EDUCATION socwel.ku.edu/studentfield 10

RESPONSIBILITIES

Each student’s growth and development as a professional social worker is at the heart of field education. Your responsibilities include:: • Complete your practicum Confirmation Form in Sonia.

• Work with the practicum agency to identify any agency requirements to begin practicum and completion of those requirements (i.e. TB testing, etc).

• Complete criminal background check as instructed by your practicum agency &/or via a Field Education email.

• Complete 24 hours a week in the practicum agency, 15 weeks each semester; or 16 hours a week for three semesters- spring, fall and summer.

• Be professional in your interactions with agency staff, clients, field liaisons, faculty, and student colleagues, consistent with guidelines provided by the agency and the NASW Code of Ethics.

• Develop a written learning contract.

• Complete written work on time as required by the agency and the School.

• Take active responsibility for your own learning throughout the field practicum experience.

ROLES

During the field education process, you will work with the following people: Field Instructor The field instructor is an agency social worker, who mentors and instructs you in areas of practice and professional development. They collaborate with you to identify activities for your learning contract, schedule weekly social work instruction meetings with you; and provide on-going feedback and an end of semester grade recommendation to the liaison.

Field Liaison The field liaison is the School’s representative to you and the practicum agency. The liaison is expected to initiate and maintain ongoing contact with you and the agency, conduct at least two site visits per year, consult with you on your learning contract and overall experience, provide feedback on assignments, and assign end of the semester grades in collaboration with the field instructor.

Preceptor/ Task Supervisor Some students will work with a preceptor/task supervisor, who supervises a student’s day-to-day experience. Preceptors have expertise related to the agency and the people they serve; they may not be a social worker.

Field Education Office Staff The Field Education Office staff have the basic responsibility for the organization, implementation and evaluation of the field education program. They strive to be supportive and available to students and welcome you to contact them by phone, email, or in person.
