There are two formal evaluations of the student's competency in social work practice during the field placement. One of these is completed toward the end of each quarter. It is expected that the Agency Field Instructor will complete a draft of these and discuss them with the student, for student comment, before the evaluation is finalized. At the end of each quarter the RIT Faculty Field Supervisor will visit the agency to meet with the student and agency Field Instructor to discuss the evaluation. The evaluation should be in final form for that meeting.
Students also complete an evaluation of the agency and field instruction experience.
Students are expected to provide the agency with a copy of this evaluation and to submit the completed evaluation to their faculty liaison. It will then be forwarded to the Director of Field Education.
