The advanced seminar two a continuation of SOWK 590 from last semester. It is an opportunity to reflect on your learning from your practicum placement. In this first session, we will check in with review updates to the practicum manual and the course syllabus for the spring semester.

During our in-person session, the following is the agenda:

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 setting intention, an important aspect of mindfulness.
