Week three for SOWK 590 is synchronous, with class on Saturday (02/22/25). Students will reflect on their practicum experience in their journals. During class, we will have a student-led discussion regarding an integrated approach, engage in mindfulness through our senses, and participate in a group reflecting on their practice. The following is the agenda:

  • SLED: Integrated Approach
  • Mindfulness activity
  • Practice Learning Reflection Group

The learning objectives this week include:

  • Students will recognize the shared experiences of peers in their practicum and be able to use the group as a method for sharing and problem-solving.
  • Students will analyze their practicum experience, reflecting on how it connects to their development and demonstration of competence.
  • Students will actively practice a mindfulness activity.
  • Students consider taking an integrated approach and how that can be implemented.
