SWK 483 - GENERALIST INTERNSHIP II

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

This internship is the second of two foundation-level, graduate semesters of field instruction (total 450 how-s) of field instruction in social welfare agency settings which are required under the supervision of a professional social worker. Students apply foundation knowledge, skills, values, and ethics of professional generalist practice. Through supervision, students enhance their awareness of self, develop written and oral communication skills necessary for analysis of professional practice, and apply critical analytic skills for implementing and evaluating agency policies and program. Students operationalize the unique values, functions and roles of professional social work practice and develop competency in identifying and assessing situations where the relationship of people and their social environment needs to be enhanced or changed. The professional responsibility of advocacy toward change and recognition of the impact of policy and programs on oppressed groups is an integral part of applied learning, as is development of professional identity. Must be taken concurrently with SWK 484, Integrated Professional Generalist Social Work Practice Seminar II.
