SW 546 Field Seminar IV
Field Seminar IV continues to support the integration of specialized social work knowledge, skills, and values developed in the classroom with practice and the continued development of a professional social work identity. As in Field Seminar III, this course will include regularly scheduled seminars where students meet virtually with all faculty to synthesize course content presented in different classes and integrate knowledge, skills, and values with their field experience. This course also serves as the forum where students will develop and present their capstone project, an agency-based project that provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the knowledge, skills, ethics and values necessary for evidence-based advanced generalist social work practice. An additional aspect of the capstone project is that students will identify core attributes of their professional social work identity in terms of beliefs, values, motives, and experiences. Consistent with the program's emphasis on life-long learning and professional development as a component of ethical social work practice, students will also identify opportunities for additional education and development, as well as self-care strategies they will integrate into their practice.
