During the first winter field placement (Session
II for Plan “A” MSW students), all students except those in BSW Advanced
Standing develop a Community Project. The project builds and demonstrates knowledge
and skills in organizational and community level social work practice. One-half day
per week is allotted for this project.
The Community Project is designed to:
Preparation for the Community Project begins with first
summer courses, particularly the Social Worker in the Community and the Agency course.
The Community Project has a faculty advisor who oversees the project as a whole.
Students independently select an area for their project within the standards described
above. A site supervisor (usually an employee of the organization or agency in which
the project is located) gives direct supervision of the project work. A written summary
of the experience completes the Community Project. Further discussion of the completed
Community Project takes place in the second summer, in the second half of the Social
Worker in the Community and the Agency Course. |
