I.SW 4971 INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING PLAN WORKSHEET
Outline student learning goals in the left-hand column. In consultation with field instructor and faculty liaison, students are to select activities that will help them reach these goals. Keep in mind the School of Social Work’s mission to develop leadership for social and economic justice and the generalist perspective: a multi-systems, multi-level approach to analysis and intervention involving an open selection of theories, interventions, and methods of evaluation appropriately involving the macro, mezzo, and micro components of the helping situation. Finally, students are to describe how their learning and performance will be evaluated. At midterm and end of the academic semester, students will be evaluated by the practicum instructor and faculty liaison on their learning and performance. See section on Learning Agreements, beginning page 33, for more guidelines and help with goals and objectives.
