The ideal companion for the first field/practicum experience, this text guides students through their placement while reinforcing the linkages between classroom learning, practice behaviors and competencies.   It includes detailed information on the field/practicum experience from start to finish.
Each chapter reflects and integrates the core competencies in the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).  End-of-chapter assessment reinforces this integration, and MySocialWorkLab.com activities support the mastery of CSWE's core competencies.
MySocialWorkLab can be packaged with the text at no extra charge and further helps students become active influencers of policy through simulated case studies, media, assessment and much more.
