Thank you everyone for responding. My dean is going to be reaching out to some of your institutions. Her biggest concern isn't about insurance. Instead it is about how it is reported to the Department of Education. This is above my paygrade, but apparently schools register semester/quarter start and ...

If a student is unable to complete their hours, due to a medical leave for example, instead of being allowed to finish their hours right away do they need to wait to finish hours until a new seminar starts or do they have to start all over in a future semester? Thanks ------------------------------ ...

Do any schools allow students to accrue practicum hours over school breaks? One dean just informed us that isn't allowable for students to participate in practicums over winter break, between semesters. She said we report an end to the fall semester and the start of a spring semester. There is about ...

This might fall under the category of just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should. We just finished the first year of a new MSW program. I was the BSW Field Ed Director for the previous 7 years and thought I could manage it and start the MSW field program. Honestly, it has been a brutal ...

Historically we held a celebration for graduating seniors during a final seminar time, but at one of the faculty members houses. We would return students essays from when they applied to the BSW program so they could see how their writing skills had progressed. Then we had them write down "advice for ...

RE: Use of term "Field" in our discipline

I realize this question is going to sound defensive (or maybe offensive), but I promise it is asked out of genuine curiosity. Is the thought to stop using the term "field" for all occurrences, such as "the field of medicine" or just when discussing practicums and practice immersion experiences? Thank ...

From my perspective, the biggest difference between a stipend and being a paid employee is the involvement of the HR department. It is also whether the status of student is prioritized over that of being an employee. ------------------------------ Myke Selha Field Education Director Grand View University ...

RE: Field Placement Matching in this new pandemic era

Once I've identified a potential match, I will send the student a link to the agency's website (if available). If the student is interested I will then connect them to the appropriate contact at the agency to schedule an interview. We don't have a specific number of places for the student to interview ...

Placements in Libraries

In the last 3 months I have been approached by two different public libraries about placing social work students with them. I'd love to hear about others' experiences, successes and challenges, with placing students in libraries. I'm particularly interested if the library didn't already have a full time ...
