This book is designed to guide social workers in their work as
field instructors. It is unique because it presents a conceptual
system that unites social work theory taught in the classroom to
applied practice in a variety of community settings. This system
gives the field instructor a model that can guide the student
through a process that focuses attention on common elements of all
social work practice situations. Many examples are presented to
illustrate the application of this process.
In addition, the text incorporates current research and
experience on prepracticum preparation, the importance of the
initial meeting with students, the uses and abuses of the
relationship between field instructor and student, how to guide and
monitor the learning process, evaluation procedures, legal
liability and ethical issues, and working with students where age,
experience, gender, differing ethnicities, or the presence of a
disability may need consideration. Field education is examined
bearing in mind the multiple and rapidly changing contexts of
social work and social welfare policies and practices, university
and service organizations, and professional and legal
requirements.
The Practice of Field Instruction in Social Work is an
invaluable text for anyone preparing to become a field instructor,
for current field instructors, and for faculty members responsible
for field coordination. The information presented here is based on
current research and current teaching experience. The model
presented in the book has been used with success in undergraduate
and graduate programs throughout Canada and in other countries.
