OBJECTIVES
Strengthen partnership with field instructors around field education objectives
Provide information and dialogue on new Advanced Competencies to support the Integration of Theory and Practice

OBJECTIVES, CONT’D. Support Advanced Field Instructors in developing
an Advanced Learning Contract with Students to meet Competency Standards for Advanced Practice.
Provide information and training on STAR (System to Administer Records) for use with contracts, evals
Offer information and practice in completing the Quarterly Evaluation using Competency Criteria and Methods of Measurement to support evaluation of practice behaviors and competencies.

CSWE EPAS EDUCATIONAL POLICY 2.3
SIGNATURE PEDAGOGY: FIELD EDUCATION
Signature pedagogy = the central form of instruction and learning in which a profession socializes its students to perform the role of practitioner.
The intent of field education is to connect the theoretical and conceptual contribution of the classroom with the practical world of the practice setting.
8
COMPETENCY BASED FIELD EDUCATION
Competency Based Education:
Focuses on outcomes of learning.
Addresses standards of student performance of professional functions rather than learning goals or objectives
- Requires defining educational goals in terms of precise, measurable descriptions of knowledge, skills, and behaviors students should possess at end of the quarter/year.
9
CORE COMPETENCIESCSWE EPAS EDUCATIONAL POLICY 2.1
Competencies are measurable practice behaviors that are comprised of knowledge, values, and skills.
The goal of the outcome approach is to demonstrate the integration and application of the competencies in practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations
and communities at the generalist level.Within an area of concentration in the
Advanced Year
10
COMPETENCY BASEDFIELD EDUCATION
1. Specific, measurable competency activities (Learning Contract)
2. Content of supervision based on student progress towards required outcome behaviors, as well as student goals, agency priorities.
3. Student continues in program until demonstrating competency.
4. Uses a variety of instructional techniques and group activities.
11
COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION (FIELD)
5. Focus is on behaviors the student needs to learn/demonstrate in a social work practice context.
6. Provides students with immediate feedback on assessment and performance.
7. Paces instruction to the students needs.
8. Students demonstrate competency based on measurable learning activities.

COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION (FIELD)
8. Assessment/Measurement Methods may Include:
Observed practice Review of oral/written reportsReview of video/audio tapesSubmission of reflective journal entriesPresentations to field instructor, staffFeedback re case/project consultationsDocumentation of assessments,
interventions

EXERCISE: DISCUSSION Discuss reactions to competency based
education Discuss experience in 2010-11 with
rollout of Foundation Competencies Discuss pros and cons of new
methodology in social work field education
MSW CURRICULUM FOUNDATION YEAR: Demonstrate the
INTEGRATION and APPLICATION of the COMPETENCIES in generalist practice with INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, GROUPS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND COMMUNITIES.
ADVANCED YEAR: Prepares graduates for ADVANCED PRACTICE through MASTERY of CORE COMPETENCIES augmented by KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE BEHAVIORS specific to a CONCENTRATION.

INTRODUCTION TO STAR System To Administer Records
New UW database with multiuse functionality Requires access through UW or Protect Net ID
Online document accessibility and storage Practicum Placement Description Forms Learning Contract Quarterly Evaluations
Demonstration of STAR Review of Online Learning Contract

INTRO: LEARNING ACTIVITIES Agency-based, specific, professional tasks
and activities must: support competency growth outline details of expectations facilitate visible and measurable skillsets meet agency needs, student interests, school
requirements provide a platform for conscious integration of
social work theory and practice be monitored, feedback given re
effectiveness not be limited by field instructor’s role; PI
facilitates broad/deep social work education
20
ABCD: LEARNING ACTIVITIES
ABCD Method of Developing Learning Activities
A: Audience: Student, UWSSW, Agency Staff
B: Behavior: Expected visible performance
C: Condition: Use of particular models, protocols, location, timeframes, involvement of others, etc.
D: Degree: frequency, length, duration
21
SAMPLE ACTIVITY USING ABCD Audience
Student will…… Behavior
Conduct a community needs assessment about underserved agency populations
ConditionBy interviewing outreach staff, developing a
written survey instrument, identifying venues for reaching potential new constituents, administering survey, and analyzing results
22
DEVELOPING ACTIVITIES Degree
First quarter: develop survey; second quarter, conduct survey; third quarter: analyze data and report results in
May staff meeting
Measurement Report on progress in supervision, present draft of survey in December to PI, present draft analysis to PI in April, present final report and written conclusions to staff
in May

24
ROLE PLAYTHIS IS A MEETING/DISCUSSION BETWEEN A FIELD INSTRUCTOR AND A STUDENT TO COMPLETE THE LEARNING CONTRACT.
Student reviews “Work Plan” with FI. FI and student discuss learning interest. FI identifies learning opportunities
25
WRITING LEARNING ACTIVITIES Exercise:
You will be assigned one of the 10 competencies
Choose a practice behavior (outcome expected)
Develop an agency activity that would support development in that competency and behavior
Share with table and/or large groupDiscuss questions or learnings from the
exercise
26
STAR: QUARTERLY EVALUATION Demonstration of STAR Quarterly
Evaluation Instructor and Student input – summary
of quarter-long progress and development
No surprises! Supervision should have provided feedback all along
PI rates student progress in practice behavior effectiveness
PI writes brief narrative to support rating PI cites methods of assessment Both auto-sign; PI submits electronically
27
ADV. COMPETENCY CRITERIA Review Competency Criteria Handout Review Developmental Stages of Learning
based on Bloom’s, Anderson’s Taxonomies Rating scale for evaluations based on
above No opportunity to address (needs rationale) 1. Student unable to learn in this area 2. Identifying problems 3. Building knowledge and skills 4. Applying knowledge and skills 5. Exceeds expectations in effective
application of knowledge and skills
28
ROLE PLAYTHIS IS A MEETING/DISCUSSION BETWEEN A FIELD INSTRUCTOR AND A STUDENT TO COMPLETE THE QUARTERLY EVALUATION.
Use a strengths and developmental perspective
Review baseline capacities Review activities done at agency Reflect on areas of growth and challenge Apply Competency Criteria Assess competency development Plan next stage of learning and tasks
29
EXERCISE: WRITE EVALUATIVE STATEMENTS
Choose a Competency and Practice Behavior. Using worksheet, write:
1) POSITIVE STATEMENT Support a high rating for a student Cite visible, measurable achievements
2) ADDRESS A CHALLENGE Support a low rating for a student Cite behaviors, expectations not realized Summarize quarter’s work and attempts to address
identified lack of abilities or knowledge; follow-up
INCLUDE PLANNED NEXT STEPS IN GROWTH for both
FIELD FACULTY SUPPORT GOALS: Work in partnership with students and instructors to
develop effective strategies for integrating theory and practice, models and processes for successful supervision and instruction collaborative and constructive relationships to further professional
development and standards adherence
At Liaison Visit, will review: > roles and responsibilities of each party> student interests, goals, background, abilities> Student fit with opportunities at agency> Learning Contract development and specificity of activities related to competencies> Progress, feedback, and evaluation of student> Credit hours, yearly plan
