Agency Field Instructors

The BSW Field Instructor

The BSW field instructor is the agency-based practitioner who has daily responsibility for teaching the student about agency policy and procedures, planning the student’s educational experience, assigning clients for service, and supervising the student’s learning progress. This individual should be a social work practitioner with a minimum of two years practice experience who supports strengths-based practice and supervision. If the designated practitioner does not hold the social work degree, the field faculty will work closely with the field instructor to provide consultation as needed with a minimum of monthly contact maintained.
