Importance of the Learning Agreement
Purpose of the Learning Agreement: The learning agreement is designed to ensure students are mindful about the learning expectations in their field
placement. It was developed to help students and supervisors/instructors plan a well-rounded experience that will help students meet the learning
objectives.
Learning Objectives: The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires students gain competency in nine areas of social work practice.
These areas of practice are defined as core competencies of the profession. Each core competency requires particular behaviors students should be
able to engage and gain competency in. Students should provide examples of activities in the agency they can participate in to help them meet the
learning objectives. Some examples of activities are provided. This is not an exhaustive list, so others can be added. Students must have an
opportunity to complete tasks in all nine areas of competency.
Connection to the Student Evaluation: Not only is the learning agreement a helpful tool to plan the learning goals for the term, but it connects directly
to the evaluation points in the student evaluation. Field Instructors/supervisors will be asked to complete student evaluations. Each student is
evaluated on the nine core competencies of social work. Having a solid learning agreement aligns the learning goals with the student’s evaluation, so
no areas are missed.
Instructions
Negotiating the Agreement: The learning agreement should be completed by week 3 at the agency. This is a collaborative process, where the field
instructor/supervisor and student meet to establish goals for the term. The student will then submit the agreement to the faculty liaison for feedback
and comments. Once everyone is happy with the agreement, all parties sign the agreement. During the evaluation session, toward the end of the
quarter, the student and instructor/supervisor should meet to discuss progress and challenges with the plan and develop ways to adjust the learning for
the remainder of the placement and the next quarter.
Form Layout:
Each page/grid is devoted to one of the nine Social Work Core Competencies. Students must have experience in all nine competencies.
Section Descriptions:
Expected Behaviors – the expected behaviors are those that are identified for the concentration area. These behaviors should be demonstrated
by students during the term of the field placement/internship.
