Signature pedagogy represents the central form of instruction and learning in which a profession socializes its students to perform the role of practitioner.

Signature pedagogy represents the central form of instruction and learning in which a profession socializes its students to perform the role of practitioner. Professionals have pedagogical norms with which they connect and integrate theory and practice. The intent of practicum education is to connect the theoretical and conceptual contribution of the classroom with the practical world of the social work practice setting. It is a basic precept of social work education that the two interrelated components of curriculum (classroom learning and practicum instruction) are of equal importance within the curriculum, with each contributing to the development of the requisite competencies of professional practice.</p> <p>Practicum education is systematically designed, supervised, coordinated, and evaluated based on criteria by which students demonstrate mastery of the program鈥檚 core competencies as operationalized by the practice behaviors outlined by the School and the Council on Social Work Education Educational and Policy Accreditation Standards (EPAS, 2022) for each level. Practicum Education is consistently evaluated by students as one of the high points of the student鈥檚 education.

This experience additionally prepares students for the professional positions they will assume in the marketplace after graduation. Students learn under the supervision of a qualified practicum instructor and with the support of a practicum advisor and liaison from the School of Social Work. </p> <p>The practicum education experience is supported through an online software. All practicum-related documents are both created and housed in this HIPAA-compliant software program. The system is managed by the students, assigned faculty, and the practicum education office. Requests for practicum placements, practicum learning plans, evaluations, and timesheets are a few examples of documents managed through the online software.</p> <p>Please visit the program pages
