Field Instructor: Field Instructor’s Phone/Email:

Agency: Faculty Field Liaison:

This Learning Plan is based on the ten competencies students are expected to demonstrate upon finishing their internship. Each competency has identified practice behaviors specific to the competency. The field instructor will help the student identify practice opportunities, including timelines, related to the competency which will be identified and assessed during the semester. The practice behaviors are closely related to each other and may be addressed with the same internship activities. You should refer to the Learning Plan each week in supervision and update it as field activities change. Any substantive changes must be approved by the faculty field liaison.

This evaluation presents an opportunity for the student and field instructor to evaluate the student’s growth and development of the ten competency areas developed by the Council on Social Work Education. By the end of the internship, the student will have demonstrated competency in each of the following arenas of performance as a foundation level social worker. For students who do not demonstrate the designated benchmark in any practice behavior, please indicate, in the instructor’s comments, specific plans to support student need for development in these areas. For students who are unable to meet the benchmark on practice behaviors across three or more competencies, a remedial plan is required. If there is a need for a remedial plan to assist the student in achieving a competency, the faculty field liaison will meet with the student and field instructor to develop the plan. Students may exceed a benchmark if they meet the criteria defined in practice behaviors. The Final Field Evaluation will ask you to evaluate skill development in each of these areas.

For each evaluation item, please rate the student accordingly to the following scale:

0 No Knowledge: Student has no knowledge at all.1 Knows: Student knows what is required to carry out professional functions.2 Knows How: Student knows how to use the knowledge that has been accumulated and is able to verbally describe the process. 3 Shows How: Student demonstrates the “know how” with support and/or supervision.4 Does: Student can demonstrate the behavior independently.

N/A No Opportunity: Student has not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate competence in this area.

2.0 - Desired benchmark for first half of internship.3.5 - Desired benchmark for second half of internship.

Comments may be made under any competency statement, if desired. Please be sure to indicate those areas in which you think the student is particularly strong and those areas that need improvement. This evaluation is intended to give the student feedback about her or his performance. Final scores will contribute to the determination of final grade (Pass/Fail).

Please sign and return the Learning Plan to faculty field liaison when completed.
