The Social Work Portfolio Planning, Assessing, and Documenting Lifelong Learning in a Dynamic Profession

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.
