Engagement Assignment. Describe your specific plans for engagement. This includes the actual work you will do with clients, patients, service-users, students, members, etc. It also includes collaborations you will be developing with colleagues and outside community members. Keep in mind that a well-rounded social work learning experience at both the undergraduate and graduate levels includes work with individuals, families, and small groups, as well as organizational practice and community work. Make sure your assignment descriptions are specific and include an overview of the task, your role, and the purpose of working on such a task (or how it will inform your practice) Related Learning Objectives/Social Work Competencies. Look at your assignments in conjunction with the Course Objectives & Social Work Competencies from your field syllabus (on the UVM Dept. of Social Work Field Education website). Determine whether your assignments (above) will give you the opportunity to meet these learning objectives, and then show the specifics of your determination next to each assignment. Please only list the 2-4 objectives that seem “most” pertinent, and please make sure that your description of the Engagement Assignment above makes explicit the link to the Social Work Competencies you’ve chosen. This is very important as your Ending Evaluation for the year will document your progress on these learning objectives—therefore, you really want to make sure you have assignments that will give you the opportunity to make progress and meet those objectives. These objectives have been approved as “outcome measures of student learning” by our national accrediting body (CSWE); thus, a student’s identification of the relationship between field assignments and learning objectives indicates that the student’s work in the field is related to these outcome measures of the overall academic program. The goal for the L.A. as a whole is to use each of the ten Learning Objectives/Social Work Competencies at least once. Therefore, it is imperative that you have at least one assignment that incorporates each objective. If you need more information about the competencies and what they mean in the context of social work education, please see pp. 7-9 in the CSWE 2015 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS).2
