Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
In this module, you will be supervising a Social Work student while being assessed by a Practice Assessor. Using your knowledge base, you will be planning and delivering a structured student placement, which will provide opportunities for the student to meet allthe requirements of the Standards in Social Work Education (LO1). You will ensure thatthe student has a comprehensive induction programme, to prepare them for contact with service users, opportunities to observe other practitioners, guide them to relevant literature to support evidence-based practice and ensure that they gain a clear understanding of legislation, policy and guidance as applicable to the practice setting (LO2).You will be providing weekly supervision, where you will help your student reflect on their work and make links between their learning at university and their direct work with service users (LO1).In collaboration with your student, you will create a placement agreement, which will clearly indicate the type of learning opportunities the student can expect, how they will assist them in meeting the Standards in Social Work Education and how you will assesstheir practice, taking account of feedback from service users and other stakeholders.You will take the lead in identifying suitable learning opportunities and negotiate with the placement agency and other contributors to the student's learning (LO3, LO5).Throughout the placement, you will be supported and assessed by an approved Practice Assessor. Your Practice Assessor will meet with you on a regular basis, providing you with opportunities to reflect on your practice with the student and the quality of thepractice placement you are providing (LO4)Students who struggle to meet the necessary standards will require additional support and consideration (LO4) and, at times, this can lead to tensions between the need of students and the needs of service users. You will have opportunities to role play through some of those situations with your peers and with students from our Master of Social Work programme (LO3).

Formative assessment is an integral part of this module. You will receive feedback and feed-forward as part of supervision with your Practice Assessor on a monthly basis during the supervised placement. Written feedback will be provided in relation to the three observed supervision sessions. You will be keeping a reflective learning log and, on five occasions, you will submit short reflective posts (5 x 250 words) to a shared online discussion forum, exploring your learning in relation to LO1-5. You and your peers will beable to comment on each other's contributions and you can subsequently review and amend your contributions, before submitting them as part of your summative portfolio at the end of the placement.
