Abstract

This interactive workshop provides an opportunity to social work educators, social workers and field educators to collaboratively explore the current contexts of field education and to discuss experiences, ideas and envision futures for practice in this area. Part A of the workshop will provide a brief overview and collaborative discussion of field education, and the impact of current economic and social political paradigms and policies on social work practice, the field and universities. Issues such as alternative field education models, the field's ability to meet field education demands, the university's and supervisors' abilities meeting the AASW requirements of supervision, and international student placements will be explored. Part B will allow participants to explore the issues in more detail through small group workshopping of issues, ideas and visions for field education. Feedback from the small groups will be used in interactive discussions to consider alternative futures for field education and items for action.
