EXPLORE OUR PROGRAMS
Training opportunities are provided for new field instructors each year. All new instructors are expected to take the “Beginning Field Instruction” workshop series prior to or while providing field instruction to their first student if they have not already taken this type of training at another school, faculty of social work, or as part of their degree. There is no fee for this workshop.
Beginning Field Instruction Workshops: Fall 2017
The Faculty of Social Work has developed two training sessions to prepare new instructors for the responsibility of supporting students through their social work education. The focus is on developing knowledge and skills to facilitate adult learning in field education and to narrow the gap between field and classroom, practice and theory.
