Generalist Practicum Instruction I

Catalog description

Generalist Practicum I and II are designed to be taken by generalist social work students in the first year of a 2-year master’s program or the second year of a 3-year master’s program. Students enrolled in Generalist Practicum I and II will also take Generalist Reflective Seminar I and II concurrently. The overall goal of practicum education is to provide graduate level social work students with opportunities to develop generalist social work competencies by helping them apply and explore their classroom-based knowledge of social work theory, skills, values, and cognitive and affective processes, as well as ethics to their experience in practicum. Students will have the opportunity to test particular concepts, principles and skills of generalist practice against the realities and demands of actual professional practice.
