The Social Work Field Placement

Abstract

<italic>The Social Work Field Placement</italic> is designed to help Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work students structure their field placement learning around the nine Council on Social Work Education (<abbrev>CSWE</abbrev>) 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 (<abbrev>EPAS</abbrev>) and 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. Learning activities in each chapter provide examples of field placement tasks and projects related to chapter topics and competencies. All chapters have field reflection questions, critical thinking questions, a detailed case summary illustrating one or more competencies with discussion questions, and electronic competency resource links to websites and videos.
