You are expected to write about yourself and your development over the duration of this course. Using your journals in support of your narrative and referring to entries that you might find relevant, explore your strengths and your challenges with clients, colleagues, co-workers and supervisors.
Write about your anxieties, biases and your successes. Talk about personal issues that you are comfortable sharing. Where possible, also make reference to material that you might have read, using the correct method of referencing the text that you have used. Bearing in mind the importance of writing well in social work, express any emotions that demonstrate: – confusion over ethical issues with which you might have been confronted and how you felt after they had been resolved, or not resolved;
how you might have done things differently and your rationale for this;
your successful or un-successful use of interpersonal skills in communicating with your clients, co-workers or supervisors; your responses to feedback from supervisors or co-workers; your (in)ability to liaise with other agencies to help your clients. From a social work perspective, what would you describe as your key learning about (1) social work theory and (2) your own professional development? What would you like to pay more attention to during the next semester?
Remember that this is a record of your learning and you do not have to only show the positive side of each interaction. Of equal importance to your learning are the occasions when things did not run as smoothly as you might have wanted them to. Also take note that any references to the agency, clients or co-workers must be so masked as to be not recognizable to anyone who might come across your report.
