Field Directors

Dear Subscribers,

The Fall 2023 issue of Field Educator is now available: Current Issue : The Field Educator

We on the Field Educator team are honored to offer a forum that promotes the important work being done within practicum education and to highlight scholarship in this area. This issue focuses on how social workers are fostering best practices in anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (A-DEI) within practicum education, a time designed for students to put into practice the knowledge, skills, and values of the social work profession. The scholarship within this issue offers knowledge and application strategies for practicum faculty, field instructors, and students.

Articles for your attention include:

• Field Education: What field internship experiences influence perceived level of cultural competence among graduating MSW students
• Building Capacity: Preparing practicum instructors to develop students' antiracist practices
• Field Talks: A conversation about incorporating Competency 3 in field/practicum learning

We are pleased to share these highlights and the entire Fall 2023 issue with you.
