This seminar for advanced standing students complements the field instruction by providing a structured learning opportunity. While foundation social work practice is based in 10 competencies with the development of a knowledge concentration specific to advanced generalist practice. The purpose of this internship is to bridge foundation and advanced studies by 1) giving students the opportunity to integrate an articulate those foundation competencies that are the most significant to the programs mission, and 2) allowing students to articulate the connection between conceptual frameworks and their increasingly complex, multi-level practice behaviors. Students articulate verbally and in writing their process of developing a professional use of self and professional identification. They articulate critical analysis for ethical decision making, practice implementation and practice-informed research projects. They articulate methods of assessing and intervention to advance human and civil rights through and understanding of the impact of policy and the strengths and challenges associated with diversity. Responding to the context of practice, students learn the importance of agency function and worker role to multi-level advanced practice. The seminar assists students to expand their knowledge of the human services field beyond the confines of their own placement through their shared experiences as discussed in class. Must be taken concurrently with SWK 491.
