information for practice

Becoming a social worker: real students, real clients and real growth and Becoming a social worker with older adults are unique teaching resources for MSW and BSW social work classes. It is produced by a professor of social work and was filmed as part of a longitudinal study of foundation level students during their foundation level field experience. The two volume DVD set includes 14 short vignettes (approximately 10 minutes each), which can be used individually to trigger class discussions. Each vignette shows social work students working with clients, in supervision or being interviewed about their field experiences. All clients are older adults, thereby exposing students to a population that they may be unfamiliar with and will encounter in their professional careers. The DVD is accompanied by an on-line study guide for use in teaching foundation practice, field work education and practice with older adults.
