Social Work Practicum I
SLWK 212 involves supervised study and practice. Students will
spend 24-32 hours a week in a social service agency. After an initial
orientation period, students are expected to assume responsibility for
assigned agency duties in order to enhance their knowledge, skills,
values and attitudes in social work methods. During agency work,
attention is given to teaching students specific skills, developing
competence in terms of offering services to clients, and participating
in overall agency programs. Biweekly seminars focus on integrating
the program philosophy, common themes and social work theory
with practicum experiences. Direct Field hours = 350 hrs, Integration
