As you go through this evaluation, please score your student on each item using an “X,” including “Not
Applicable” if suitable. There are 10 items as well as space at the end of the evaluation for your general
comments. Once completed, please sign and date the evaluation and return it directly to your student’s
professor. Please involve the student in the evaluation process, as it is an important learning experience.
The scale provided is based on the Council on Social Work Education’s 10 Core Competencies and uses that
language. As beginning learners in many cases the student will have only a certain level of exposure to the
practice areas that make up the Core Competencies. Please use your best judgment.
Once again, thank you for your support and commitment in shaping the future of the social work profession.
We value your partnership and hope to contribute to that in every way possible. If you have questions about
the evaluation, please email swfield@monmouth.edu.
