BBP/Becoming a Better Practioner

Becoming a Better Practitioner (BBP) Assignment  Monitoring clients’ perceptions of the change process and their own improvement is central to client-centered social work practice. It is also a key ingredient in improving the skills and expertise of the social worker. The purpose of this assignment is for you to monitor your work with client systems and use the feedback to improve your social work practice skills. The term “client” here refers broadly to the individuals or groups that you are serving or engaging in change efforts with. If the nature of your work makes it impossible to obtain feedback directly from clients, then you can solicit feedback from another observer (field instructor, colleague, etc.), or from indirect data sources (observing body language, etc.). In any case, you will record this feedback over time (3-5 weeks), along with the changes you make in your practice in response to this feedback. Your descriptions of these changes should be specific and concrete. You will then integrate the numerical data, client feedback, and your practice changes in a final report. In appropriate settings, students may use the ORS/SRS tools to complete this assignment.
