Response to Stephanie

n explanation of the role of supervision in your field education experience:

Currently, the role of supervision is extremely important in my field education experience. My supervisor and I meet everyday and discuss and debrief about the day. The great thing about it, is I am able to discuss with her all the issues I had that day, what I liked/ did not like, and the process of it. This is important working in social work because it allows me to think through my thoughts, address any ethical behaviors that may come up, and any bias I may have that I do not know of. McTighe, (2011) the development of the use of self demands is beneficial for those being supervised because it brings self-awareness, insight, possible counter transference, and the ability to tolerate judgment. Which I have found to be true in my own field experience currently.

A description of your field instructor's leadership style and an explanation of whether the leadership style will promote your agency learning agreement during your field education experience:

I would say that my supervisors leadership style is more real and direct. She does not try to sugar coat the population that we work in. She is very honest and upfront about the reality of the drug culture population. This honestly helps me because it allows for less of a culture shock and allows me to be able to focus on my field experience. It allows me to understand and practice correct ethics and professional behavior, as well, because the shock of the issues at hand are no longer present with her more direct personality. I am also able to accomplish more this way because she is able to be honest and help me process the experiences I have, thus, I am able to think ahead and understand what to do and how things are applied to the community we serve. I believe if she constantly keeps being direct and honest with me, it will help me improve my self-awareness and allow me to best serve the population in which we work (McTighe, 2011). As Bogo, Regehr, Power & Regehr, (2007) state my job as a student is to learn, embrace social work values, and practice the competency that I have learned throughout the years at Walden, and my supervisor's direct and honesty help me with this aspect and to keep me in check to ensure my personal self does not mix with my professional self.

An explanation of the role of supervision in your field education experience

All around, supervision is extremely important. Supervision is fundamental, essential, and central to the Social Work profession. Supervision is for us to learn and ask questions. Supervision is mandatory at our agency and for me as a field student. For all of your workers supervision is mandatory on every level in which you work. It gives us a chance to discuss client cases, administration issues, talk about practice skills, and get feedback from workers that are above us. Supervision in field education can be an avenue for students to, critically reflect on practice issues and tensions, untangle their thoughts, explore the connections between their personal and professional self, learn to practice independently and develop skills for practice (Berger & Mizrahi, 2001).

Supervision is a conversational activity between the social work supervisor and social work student worker. “Social workers have expressed a need for critically reflective conversations, particularly about ethical issues and practice concerns with clients (Berger & Mizrahi, 2001). Supervisors create opportunities to directly observe our practice

With access to supervision it will encourage a profounder understanding of the practice situation and options for intervention. This supports the primary professional obligations of me as a social worker while promoting the best interests of clients by ensuring that practice is based on present knowledge.

The NASW states, “Educational supervision focuses on professional concerns and relates to specific cases, as it helps supervisees better understand social work philosophy, become more self-aware, and refine their knowledge and skills” (2005). Educational supervision focuses on staff development and the training needs of a social worker to a particular caseload (NASW, 2005). Supervision is guided to learn about assessment, treatment and intervention, identification and resolution of ethical issues, and evaluation and termination of services (NASW, 2005).

A description of your field instructor's leadership style and an explanation of whether the leadership style will promote your agency learning agreement during your field education experience

My field instructor’s learnership style is strong. She has a transformational leadership style as she is energetic, passionate, emotionally intelligent. She motivates me to have direct positive changes and achieve goals to my highest potential. I learn so much from her. She is so educated and experienced. She teaches me and offers support/advice. We discuss the present and future of social work. We process everything from the learning agreement from research to policy to clients to evidenced base practice. The leadership that she provides is stellar and promotes each and every part of my learning agreement. Supervisor leadership should have experience and expertise in the practice arena and with the population of the practice, such as addictions, children and adolescents, mental health, and community organization (NASW, 2005). Supervisors should have competencies in the theories and various modalities of treatment and maintain currency through the use of professional journals and continuing education (NASW, 2005). She has all of these qualities in which she supports all of my competencies in the learning agreement.

Within the supervisory environment with my field instructor, I have the opportunity to critically analyze my knowledge, values and skills and their understanding of my work I am undertaking. It is a safe place for myself to reflect on my practice, decisions and interventions. Within her leadership style the learning agreement is always promoted and supervision is always on going. Morrison (2003) asserts that “supervision does not always follow the same structure: It is an ongoing process which takes place in many different settings, ranging from the formal planned office-based session to urgent discussions in a corridor or car park”. The supervision is always there when I need it and it is a great thing to have that goes along with my learning agreement plan. My field instructor wants me to learn and she is there to teach as well as her ultimate goal of becoming a great educated social worker.

Importance of the Learning Agreement Purpose of the Learning Agreement: The learning agreement is designed to ensure students are mindful about the learning expectations in their field placement. It was developed to help students and supervisors/instructors plan a well-rounded experience that will help students meet the learning objectives. Learning Objectives: The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires students gain competency in nine areas of social work practice. These areas of practice are defined as core competencies of the profession. Each core competency requires particular behaviors students should be able to engage and gain competency in. Students should provide examples of activities in the agency they can participate in to help them meet the learning objectives. Some examples of activities are provided. This is not an exhaustive list, so others can be added. Students must have an opportunity to complete tasks in all nine areas of competency. Connection to the Student Evaluation: Not only is the learning agreement a helpful tool to plan the learning goals for the term, but it connects directly to the evaluation points in the student evaluation. Field Instructors/supervisors will be asked to complete student evaluations. Each student is evaluated on the nine core competencies of social work. Having a solid learning agreement aligns the learning goals with the student’s evaluation, so no areas are missed. Instructions Negotiating the Agreement: The learning agreement should be completed by week 3 at the agency. This is a collaborative process, where the field instructor/supervisor and student meet to establish goals for the term. The student will then submit the agreement to the faculty liaison for feedback and comments. Once everyone is happy with the agreement, all parties sign the agreement. During the evaluation session, toward the end of the quarter, the student and instructor/supervisor should meet to discuss progress and challenges with the plan and develop ways to adjust the learning for the remainder of the placement and the next quarter. Form Layout: Each page/grid is devoted to one of the nine Social Work Core Competencies. Students must have experience in all nine competencies. Section Descriptions: Expected Behaviors – the expected behaviors are those that are identified based on the concentration area. These behaviors should be demonstrated by students during the term of the field placement/internship. Agency Activities-These are examples of particular activities that students can do at the agency to demonstrate the expected behaviors. Most of these are general to all settings. However, if they don’t quite match, feel free to add/change these to fit with the context of your agency. Check all activities that apply. Field Course Assignments-These are a few examples of field course assignments that help reinforce the Social Work Core Competencies. Students will be required to complete all field course assignments. How to Complete the Form: a- By week 2, students should complete all student designated sections on the learning agreement and discuss it with their supervisor/instructor. b- By week 3, students should upload the learning agreement to Blackboard for the faculty liaison to review. (Only upload agreements that have been approved by your supervisor/instructor). c- After the faculty liaison reviews and signs the agreement, the student and instructor should sign it. d- After the agreement has been signed, the student will upload it to Meditrek.

For example, how will you use your strengths, improve knowledge, develop skills, and address any areas you need to improve as a professional (be specific)? After reviewing the Agency activities and field course assignments, I believe that this format will allow for my professional development to not only advocate for my clients but ensure a strong foundation to facilitate sessions following the guidelines of the NASW. Currently, the area I need improvement is on boundaries. This is because it is so hard to feel sorry for what a person Is going through and not try to help as much as you can.
