Hi all,
I hope your semesters have started off well.
Curious if any of your programs (we are particularly interested in MSW, but open to knowing more about BSW as well) use a zero-credit or tuition-free model for practicum education?
We are exploring this possibility in order to reduce tuition costs for students, but are curious about how some of the more traditional practicum education components such as academic assignments (learning contract, process records/reflection assignments, etc.), supports (such as liaisons/tutors/etc) and seminars are structured.
If you have ideas or information to share, I would love to chat. Please respond here or feel free to be in touch, and hope to meet some of your at CSWE's APM next month.
Thank you in advance, and be well,
Jean
