Abstract
This article introduces a competency-based integrated learning contract and student assessment for social work field education. Historically, learning contracts and student assessments have often been two separate documents and could appear unconnected. In addition, individually developed student learning objectives could lack consistency across placement settings. The proposed learning contract seeks to remedy these limitations and was created based on field supervisors’, field students’, social work faculty feedback, and the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) 2008 competencies. This article describes how the instrument was developed, pilot-tested, and then fine-tuned. The contract provides significant direction for field student learning while still allowing for individual student created competencies. The learning contract and student assessment tool itself is provided for ease of implementing and adapting to other field programs.
