Final Evaluation

Purpose of Final Evaluations

The final evaluation will be submitted to the Faculty of Social

Work to inform a Pass or Fail in your 3150 or 4120 field placement.

Purpose of Final Evaluations• Opportunity to hear from peers and agency

staff members. Field instructors have an opportunity to call on co-workers and other staff /agencies to provide feedback on student performance.

• Opportunity to hear feedback about performance and identify areas that the student may concentrate on, in terms of professional ongoing development.

Completing Final Evaluation

Overview

1) Review learning contract and final evaluation information

2) Complete scoring and comments on evaluation independently

3) Final evaluation meeting & meeting with faculty field liaison

4) Submission of final evaluation

Look to the learning contract to provide examples in your evaluation comments.

The learning contract will be reviewed if there are discrepancies in the final evaluation

1) Connection to Learning Contract

• 3150 evaluations are extremely important as the evaluation will be provided to the student’s next field instructor.

• Strengths should be identified and examples provided.

• Areas requiring improvement can be transferred to the next placement and built into the 4120 learning contract.– Provide example of what needs to be accomplished

to meet the areas identified.

• Students should use their 3150 evaluation to build their learning contract for 4120.

Differences/Discrepancies• If a student and field instructor do not agree

and cannot come to an agreement regarding the outcome of the evaluation please contact me to discuss this.

• I would then become involved to help mediate the issue and come to a determination regarding the outcome of the evaluation.

Addendum• If a student receives an unsatisfactory grade

there are several options:– Student will receive a fail and be required to

repeat the practicum– Student will be given an opportunity to address

the failing areas, an addendum requiring additional hours to address the failing areas

The addendum is developed between the student, field instructor, field coordinator, and

field liaison.
