SW 550 - Field Practicum I The field practicum courses are the signature pedagogy of the LC Master of Social Work Program. Students’ progress through the practicum courses in order, with completion of each being a prerequisite for the next. Field Practicum I and II include supervised field experience totaling 466 hours in an approved internship agency setting (233 per semester). Primary focus is on generalist social work with individuals and families, groups, communities, and organizations, as applied to a wide variety of practice settings. The Field Practicums allow students to integrate and practice the classroom knowledge, values, and skills learned in a supervised, instructional, environment in which the student can gain feedback and grow in their identity as a professional social worker. Students will demonstrate proficiency in competency practice behaviors measured by supervisor evaluations of student’s progress toward goals and tasks set forth in the student’s learning plan. The focus in on application of foundation knowledge, skills, values, and ethics to practice in working with the client, community, and organizational systems. Field Practicum II builds upon the foundation established in Field Practicum I, and enhances the student’s ability to engage in evidenced based research and practice approaches, as well as increased skill in advocacy and policy practice. Students must make application for field placement and plan to complete both field courses during the foundation year. There may be circumstances which require exceptions to the traditional semester placement which will be handled on an individual basis and according to Field Educational Policy. 3 hrs
