  • 1.  Supervision training resource needed

    Posted Dec 15, 2023 15:31

    Do you know if a resource exists out there for supervision training of practicum and/or SW licensing supervision training for supervisors?


    I am interested to know if there is a program already developed that we can purchase or purchase a license for use of at our university. and use year after year. I have seen several university websites with their own trainings, but I'm looking for something that we can utilize without reinventing the wheel, if that exists. Thanks for any resources you know about.

    Hi Mikki- there is a repository on the CSWE site that the Council for Field Education created a couple years ago.  It is a variety of training modules that were donated from programs around the country, that folks could use as a foundation to build their own supervision training. 

    The link is https://www.cswe.org/about-cswe/governance/governance-groups/council-on-field-education/user%E2%80%99s-guide-for-the-national-field-instructor-training-repository/

    Mikki,

    In addition to the repository, the northeast schools of social work have a training course for agency instructors called SIFI- Seminar in field instruction which is a 12 week training for new instructors supervising students. It covers topics like Beginning Processes in Field Instruction, Teaching Professional Ethics in Field Instruction ,  Teaching Cultural Competence in Field Instruction, The Range of Students Assignments: Micro to Macro, Process Recordings, Logs and Journals in Field Instruction, Adult Learning, Educational Assessment, Teaching Challenges, Teaching Methods, Evaluation of Field Performance, and Teaching Termination.

    Hope this is helpful,

    Warren
