Introduction
E nga mana, e nga reo, e nga karangaranga maha o nga motu o Aotearoa.
Tena koutou tena koutou tena ra tatou katoa.
The following documents are part of your assessment for your Fieldwork Practice
paper. The Fieldwork Team believe they provide you with an opportunity to plan,
reflect on, discuss and critique aspects of your learning throughout the fieldwork
experience. We are always open to feedback and suggestions so that we can
continue to provide you with assessment tools that enhance your reflection and
learning.
You are required to complete all of the documentation to a satisfactory standard in
order to pass this part of the fieldwork paper. Incomplete work may be sent back
for further work or may mean that a Pass grade cannot be given to a student. The
documents that you are required to complete include the BSW field education
contract, placement progress forms (at weeks 5 and 10), the worksheets, the
assessment summary sheet and the assessment document.
Reminder: You will need to purchase a Code of Ethics/Bicultural Code of Practice
from the ANZASW in order to complete the worksheets. You can also purchase
these from the School of Health and Social Services office.
Please contact us if you have any questions concerning the worksheets while you are
on placement.
