Module 8 Mid-Practicum Evaluation Reflection Purpose To support you in reflecting systematically on your progress in the first five Advanced Competencies, and in developing a plan for how you will continue to develop these in the second half of Advanced Practicum.

Course Objectives

• CO 1: Demonstrate ethical decision-making across all system levels while incorporating global and multicultural perspectives into professional identity and behavior.

• CO 2: Practice cultural competence through self-awareness, assessment of intersecting identities, and application of non-Western interventions.

• CO 3: Advance human rights and social justice through prevention, advocacy, and systemic change strategies that address oppression of disadvantaged communities and marginalized minorities. Advocate for clients’ human, social, economic, and environmental rights.

• CO 4: Apply culturally relevant research to practice and engage in research informed by practice with diverse communities to support individual and collective best practices.

• CO 5: Balance collectivism with individualism in the innovation, development and implementation of public policies affecting US and global at-risk populations.

Guidelines Consider how your field education experience fulfilled the goals and objectives in your agency learning agreement. Reflect on what you would like to gain in future field education experiences. After the review, students should write and submit a 1-2 page addendum with the following responses:

• Describe whether you met or did not meet the goals/objectives in your agency learning agreement, referencing the results from your Evaluation.

• Describe potential areas where you might need improvement in relation to social work practice skills.

• Explain how your next 8 weeks of the field experience might address those areas.
