Evaluation and Self-Assessment
Throughout the past nine weeks, you have had the  ability to apply social work practice skills in a real-world setting.  At the end of your placement, your supervisor completed a final  evaluation of your practice skills.
Having had the chance to review your final  evaluation, you will now synthesize the results of your evaluation to  help you self-assess your field education experience. By performing the  self-assessment, you will evaluate your professional development as a  future social worker.
For this assignment, reflect on your field  education experience. Consider the skills that you have developed and  how they might contribute to your professional identity as a social  worker. Reflect on what you had hoped to learn in your concentration  year experience.
As you review your evaluation, the opportunity  to engage in personal professional development should remain a  consideration for the remainder of your program.
For this Assignment, reflect on your field  education experience. Review the results of your final evaluation and  reflect on what you would like to gain in future practice experiences.
Note: You should receive your final evaluation from you field instructor.
 
The Assignment (4–5 pages):

Explain whether you demonstrated social work practice skills  throughout your field education experience, including a description of  each social work practice skill and the measure(s) provided in the final  evaluation.
Explain how participation in your field education course might help you prepare for a career in social work.
Describe potential areas where you might need improvement in relation to social work practice skills.
Explain how you might address those areas as you continue to develop as a professional social worker.
Explain how you have grown as a professional during this process.
Propose personal action plans that you can continue into your professional career.
