A description of your understanding of field education
experiences
According to Wayne et al. (2010), field education is the
signature pedagogy of the integration of academic instruction
including reflection, conceptualization, and integration of theory
and practice through active involvement with “real” experiences
while providing a service or assisting in a helping role. For
me, the field education experience is all about putting my
educational skills to use. The Counsel of Social Work
Education (CSWE) utilizes a competency-based curriculum that is
widely utilized in field education and its goal is to ensure the
application of social work knowledge, value, and skills to practice
situations is done so in a purposeful, intensional, and
professional manner (Birkenmaier & Berg-Weger, 2018).
Field education will provide me with the insight and ability
on how to apply learned concepts and evidence-based practices in
field work all while under the direction and supervision of my
field instructor.
An explanation of your role as an intern in your field
education experience, including your agency learning agreement
For my concentration year field experience, I will be
completing my internship with Valley’s Best Hospice which operates
within and throughout the surrounding neighborhoods of Burbank,
California. I am excited for this opportunity as I know that
I will be able to apply my clinical and practical learned social
work skills to the profession. My understanding of my role as
intern for Valley’s Best Hospice is to work in the capacity as
social work volunteer and, initially, act in the role of apprentice
and learner to support and shadow the agency’s clinical team.
Eventually, once I gain a better understanding of my role and
responsibilities required for the position of a hospice social
worker, I will then advance to be a position where I will carry my
own caseload of 7-9 clients. I will utilize my learning
agreement to ensure that the 9 competencies outlined by the CSWE
are addressed and implemented throughout my experiences in field
education III and IV.

Post a description of your understanding of field education
experiences
Field
education experiences are important to the learning process of
social workers because field experience allows students and interns
to begin the process of applying classroom learning in a real-world
environment (Birkenmaier & Berg-Weger, 2018). Additionally,
field experience also enables students and interns to work
within professional agencies, and with professionals who bring a
unique perspective to the field. Fieldwork includes
perspectives the student may not have considered or experienced.
Post an explanation of your role as an intern in your field
education experience, including your agency learning agreement.
This
writer’s role as an intern is to gain as much practical experience
from the licensed social worker in counseling. Asking
questions, engaging in conversations, and observing the counselor
at work will help this writer identify strengths, issues, and
possible areas where improvement needs to be made. Because this is
the third field experience, the focus must be on applying knowledge
and the refinement of the skills required to move fully into the
social work field after graduation. The learning agreement assists
this writer to identify areas where there is room for improvement,
what strengths exist, and any areas that this writer needs to focus
on. Prior fieldwork has given this writer experience with the
generalist intervention model (GIM) and how agencies work regarding
the application of the GIM and the providing of resources to
individuals in need. Working with a licensed social worker will
expose this writer to a different setting, experiences, and uses of
the GIM, report writing, documenting cases and the possibility of
early termination with a client and the associated issues that
might arise (Gelman, Fernandez, Hausman, Miller & Weiner,
2007).
