______________ All students in the MSW program
must complete the Core Competencies Learning
Plan. This learning plan is used for the first
10 weeks of the internship. Instructions Revie
w the competency and the related behaviors and
tasks for each area. If the activity is relevant
to your field learning experience either document
a targeted completion date or mark as ongoing.
It is anticipated that the majority of activities
will be ongoing throughout the internship as
learning is a continual process. If the activity
is not relevant to the learning experience then
mark the completion date with N/A (not
applicable). If a student is engaged in
activities not included on the learning plan,
note those tasks in the space provided for
additional learning activities. After the
learning plan has been developed, both the
student and field instructor must sign. The
original with signatures should be sent to the
Field Education Office by the date specified on
the timeline. Both the student and Field
Instructor should retain a copy. The Learning
Plan is a tool to guide the students learning
experience and provide a structure for the field
instructor to provide ongoing feedback and
evaluation. The learning plan may be updated or
changed to reflect the students learning
experience. If changes to the plan occur, submit
a revised copy to the Field Education
Office.
