About this title

Synopsis

In THE SOCIAL WORK PORTFOLIO, the authors emphasize that learning how to learn and continuing to learn are fundamental processes for professional social workers in the twenty-first century. The book provides readers with a tool to plan, assess, and document the nature, scope, and quality of learning during--and following--formal university study. The book is intended to help readers to develop their own social work portfolio.
