SK 599

This course will support students’ placement readiness and practically prepare them for field education as an emerging practitioner in a professional setting. To achieve this, the course will focus on: orienting students to field education and their field course requirements; preparing students for professional practice within their setting of interest; integrating an equity lens in their placement; and orienting students to their future roles as field instructors. This online course will also integrate preparatory labs and seminars with MSW field educators and practitioners. Students complete this course during the term identified for their program’s sequence at the time of admission. Course delivery timelines may vary for on-campus and online students and are based on the student’s program sequence. Students enroll in this course in the first term of their placement and the course has to coincide with the start of the placement. Students cannot complete this course before the placement starts or after it ends. 15 hours will be credited to a student’s placement upon successful completion (graded as a satisfactory/fail).
