Appendix A

Clinical Field and Seminar Log of Professional Experiences in the Field

The field log provides a concrete means for the student to:

· Account for professional activity in the field placement;

· Demonstrate professional development related to contracted learning experiences and the clinical-year competencies;

· Reflect on professional growth and development;

· Provide information that facilitates dialogue between the student and Field Supervisor;

· Document for the Field Supervisor, concerns, dilemmas and issues as they arise in the agency setting.

Students will complete bi-weekly logs using the format provided below. Logs are expected to be no more than 3 pages in length (double-spaced). Due dates are noted in the syllabus and on Engage. Every log submitted by the student should reflect a unique experience with the client system context and provide an example of professional development.

The reported activities account for cumulative total 300+ hours per semester.

Describe one intrapersonal/interpersonal strength or challenge that you experienced this week at the Field agency (150-300 words—please be very specific in your description/reflection). Respond to the following prompts:

1. In what way was the experience a strength/challenge for you?

2. In your assessment how was this experience a strength/challenge/learning experience for others (e.g., client, co-worker)?

3. Describe the social context of the experience.

4. Cite the practice framework (e.g., theory, model, etc.) that best facilitates resolution of the practice challenge or that supports the strength(s) you experienced. Relate this practice framework to your overall practice this week and explain how it is relevant to the practice context.

5. Identify at least one other practice framework that might also be relevant in this week’s practice context. Justify your choice.

6. Identify at least two strengths of your client system that you observed this week.

7. Identify at least two practice behaviors that relate to the experience and that you enhanced as a result of this week’s experiences.
