Social Work Question

To demonstrate critical thinking in the integration of social work knowledge, values, and skills, and to prepare for the Mid-Term and Final Evaluations, students must submit a 4-7 page reflection on practice at their agency. This paper should be uploaded into the mid-term evaluation in Sonia.

All assigned papers or essays must be typed or word-processed. All papers must conform to APA (7^th ed.) format. If references are used, the references must also come from government or agency reports, books, or academic journals. Sources such as Wikipedia are not acceptable sources for references. Students may find them useful for general information and also citations, which can be explored for acceptable resources.

Here are the directions for the paper:

How has your role or responsibility increased since the semester began? How have your responsibilities changed?
Describe how you have taken initiative and leadership this semester.
What advanced skills (e.g., group work, advocacy, systems thinking, macro) have you practiced that demonstrates your growth in this practicum? How have your assessments or interventions become more sophisticated?
Reflect on your growth in how you are addressing complex ethical or systemic challenging issues.
How are you applying concepts, knowledge and skills from your current courses to practicum?
Describe a time you made an independent decision or recommendation. What were you pleased with? What might you have done differently?
Describe a mistake you made and your response to that mistake.
How is your supervision experience different this semester? How have you incorporated feedback into your practice? Give a specific example.
Describe a challenging case/situation and how you approached it.
What goals do you want to achieve before the end of the semester?What competency related learning activities are proving to be the most challenging?What do you need to move forward?

Reflect on how this might be different from last semester.

Once the reflection is written there are several steps that MUST be completed for this assignment to be completed. The reflection needs to be loaded into the midterm form in Sonia. Additionally the student needs to mark the status of the CDP learning activities in the midterm column in the CDP and also score oneself on the midterm form.
