Field Instructor Academy

(Department of Field Instruction Approval Required for Registration)

Instructors—Ellen Murphy, LCSW, Director of Field Instruction, UTA,
and Gilda Williams, BSW, Student Development Specialist, UTA

In this seminar for SSW Department of Field Instruction field instructors, you examine the goals and objectives of the UTA Bachelor of Social Work program and Master of Science in Social
Work program, and their relationships to field instruction.  You also explore ways to facilitate the integration of theory and practice with practicum students.  Course content includes field instruction approaches to supervision, student learning needs, and evaluation of student performance.  Seminar instructors use a presentation style that combines lecture, small group activities, simulation and role-playing.  New field instructors must attend this training on a one-time basis before supervising a social work student in a UTA field practicum.  Classes are restricted in size.   

Fee: Attendance is free of charge, however a $35 CEU processing fee must accompany your registration form if you want to receive CEUs (approved for 6 hours/0.6 CEUs: LMSW • LCSW • AP • LBSW • Oklahoma State Board of Licensed Social Workers).
