EVALUATION RUBRIC
INSTRUCTIONS:
This evaluation instrument is designed to provide input from the field instructor to the student and faculty liaison about the quality of the student’s performance in the field practicum. The faculty liaison is responsible for assigning the student’s semester grade on the basis of this evaluation and on the student’s participation in the field seminar. The field instructor should review the student’s learning contract before initiating the evaluation. Student performance should be rated on the basis of the established criteria set forth in the Learning Contract.

Evaluation of the student for SWK/SOWK 530 (first semester) should be reflective of the
student’s beginning level of knowledge and skill. Evaluation for SWK/SOWK 531 (second semester) should reflect the student’s advanced knowledge in each performance area. Evaluation should also include an assessment of the display of the four dimensions for each competency, i.e., knowledge, values, skills, and cognitive and affective processes in the comments section. The process may be guided by the narrative that accompanies each competency, where the related knowledge, values, skills, and cognitive and affective processes are stated.

The agency field instructor is required to use the comment section of the evaluation to support and clarify ratings and provide feedback on the display of the four dimensions. Student and agency field instructor are expected to prepare the evaluation together, using this opportunity to identify areas of mastery, as well as strategies for continued professional development.
