Conduct a minimum of two site visits to the field agency to meet with the field instructor to discuss the intern’s progress. Complete the Report of Field Placement Site Visit and the Field Liaison Contact form Identify any problems related to field instruction in the agency and report problems to the BSW Field Coordinator. Identify any problems related to the performance of the intern. Discuss problems with the intern and the field instructor in an effort to resolve problems.

Evaluating Student Learning and Field Setting Effectiveness Students are evaluated twice during the field internship semester, at mid-term and the end of the semester. If the student’s performance is below expectation, the field instructor, the student and BSW Field Coordinator will meet and determine the actions that need to be taken to improve student performance. Corrective actions to be taken will be recorded on the Corrective Action Agreement that will be signed by the field instructor, student and field coordinator. A four point rating scale is used for student evaluation: Scale: 1 Performance does not meet expectations for completion of field internship. 2 Performance minimal expectations. 3 Performance is high on performance tasks. 4 Performance is exceptionally high on performance tasks. Mid-term Progress Report The mid-term progress report includes the ten core social work competencies identified by the Council on Social Work Education in addition to two competencies related to social work practice. This evaluation reflects reasonable expectations for student performance the first 6-8 weeks of field placement. The student’s grade is determined by adding the rating score given to each competency and dividing the sum by the number
