Synopsis

Professors Hunter, Moen, and Raskin present scholarship from experts to shape field policies and curricula in the revised edition of Social Work Field Directors: Foundations for Excellence. The work of each contributing author sets standards for program quality and student competence, and makes clear the need to incorporate community practice experience with social work program education. This book is a resource that provides in-depth knowledge to help new and experienced field directors develop, execute, maintain, and evaluate field education programs. It illustrates how the signature pedagogy of social work education promotes sustainable changes to improve the quality of existing field programs.
