We are excited to officially share that the "Practicum Toolkit for Artificial Intelligence: Guidance for Practicum Instructors/Supervisors, Faculty Liaisons, & Social Work Students" is now published and available to download for free.
Inside the toolkit, you'll find:
· Foundational AI literacy and shared terminology
· Connections between AI use and social work ethics
· The ETHICS-AT decision-making model
· Guidance for students, practicum instructors/supervisors, and faculty liaisons
· Case scenarios and supervision discussions
· Prompts, assignments, and simulation ideas
· Guidance around privacy, confidentiality, bias, human oversight, and responsible AI use
This was truly a collaborative effort, and we are proud to recognize the full author team:
Melanie Sage, PhD, LCSW
Marina Badillo-Diaz, DSW, LCSW

This project also carries special meaning. The toolkit is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Melanie Sage, whose vision, generosity, mentorship, and commitment to ethical technology and practicum education made this work possible. Simply put, without Melanie, there would be no toolkit. She was the visionary who brought this incredible team together, creating the space for collaboration, shared learning, and the development of a resource we hope will serve the social work community for years to come.
Help us get this resource into the hands of the people preparing the next generation of social workers. Repost it and share it within your social work community
