Student Skills Inventory: Social Work Skills Lab Intensive 1

Student Name:

During the Intensive, you must demonstrate all the required behaviors from each Skills Category. Use this document to track, score, and describe those behaviors as you perform them. The other listed skills are highly encouraged but not required. These include skills that you may or may not have the opportunity to display, depending on your role in the Intensive’s sessions.

Instructions:

Checkmark Column: Place a check next to each skill as you demonstrate it in the Intensive. This column is your quick view of what you have completed.

Score Column: After checking off a skill, assess yourself on that skill using the following scale:

5 = Demonstrates a high level of competency

4 = Clearly demonstrates competency

3 = Demonstrates a minimum level of competency

2 = Demonstrates an inadequate level of competency

1 = Demonstrates no competency

Student Assessment Column: Then, record when and how you demonstrated the skill and any other relevant information to support your self-assessment.
