Ruth Murray, Fieldwork Co-ordinator, along with various Social Work staff of Applied Social Studies, UCC, and some practice teachers, is organising a workshop for potential practice teachers for two days in September, namely 3rd and 4th September at Room 156 in the O’Rahilly Building. These two days are aimed at: a) social workers who may have considered practice teaching and always wondered what would be involved, and b) social workers who may not have practice taught for a while and would like to know more about the needs of current social work students on placement, and c) any social workers who may feel a need for a refresher on practice teaching. Contributions will cover subjects such as: Frameworks for Supervision, Practice Teaching, Reflective Practice, Dealing with Challenging Students, Failing Students, Learning Incidents, Contracts, Theory for Practice, Challenges of Assessment and Final Reports on Students. Any social workers interested in this can contact Ruth Murray at 021 4903954 or email her at

There will be about 30 places available and there will be no cost in attending. Ruth will have a leaflet ready shortly to send to Agencies, detailing the programme over the two days. Contact her if you want a place reserved, as places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Again, both days will be held in UCC. Programmes and application forms will be available from June onwards. A similar Conference in UCC held last year (and the year before) was hugely successful and the feedback from participant last year was tremendously positive. |
