Off-Site Supervision in Social Work Education: What Makes It Work?
Maynard, Sarah P.; Mertz, Linda K. P.; Fortune, Anne E.
Journal of Social Work Education, v51 n3 p519-534 2015
The field practicum is the signature pedagogy of the social work profession, yet field directors struggle to find adequate field placements--both in quantity and quality. To accommodate more students with a dwindling pool of practicum sites, creative models of field supervision have emerged. This article considers off-site supervision and its potential for expanding quality learning opportunities for social work students. We use responses from a series of think tanks with social work field educators from across the United States, combined with a program's student and supervisor focus groups to provide insights into the use of off-site supervision.
