Field Instruction IV

Catalog description

Field Instruction IV is the second course in the Advanced Curriculum/ Specialized Practice Year. It shares its objectives with Field Instruction III. Applying social work knowledge, skills, and values in the practicum is understood as a developmental process. Students make a solid beginning in the Foundation Year, continue to work towards these objectives in the Specialized Practice Year, and continue to grow and develop as master's level practitioners after earning their degree. In this spirit, in Field Instruction IV, students further their developing expertise in their specialization as described above and deepen their understanding of allied disciplines. Collaborations with professional colleagues across disciplinary lines have the opportunity to develop and mature over time.
