Description
The reflective journal is a tool for cultivating your personal-professional self and should focus on the competencies and knowledge you are learning in your field practicum (about yourself, others, social problems, helping relationships, social change &/or social work practice). Its contents should include the following: Reflections on how you see yourself as a developing social worker. Reflections on your understanding of your personal values and the values and ethics of our profession.Reflections on the parallel processes you are experiencing with supervision and practice.Specifically address Cultural Diversity and Cultural Humility Self-Assessment of Journals I believe self-evaluation and assessment is a valuable tool to support equity in learning. You will be asked to self-assess the quality of your work on these journals. When journals are submitted, you will also be required to submit a self-assessment using the rubric provided in this syllabus. Both a point value and supporting comments are required for each area of the rubric. I will still be providing my own feedback and numeric rating, and where our numeric values differ, I will average the two in calculating the total grade for the assignment. The rubric must be completed before the assignment will be assessed by the instructor. Highlighted areas of the rubric are the ones that the student completes.
