Course overview
This module is for qualified and registered social workers, normally with a minimum of two years’ postqualifying experience. You will acquire the knowledge and skills to enable and support learning and assessment of social work students. The module meets the requirements of the nationally recognised Practice Educator Professional Standards, Stage 1.
Trainee Practice Educators in Group 1 will work with second year BA students doing their 70 day placement from November 2025 to March 2026.
Trainee Practice Educators in Group 2 will work with first year MA students doing their 70 day placement from January 2026 to June 2026.
The module is taught against the Practice Educator Professional Standards Domains A – C (BASW 2022). You will learn how to develop an effective learning environment for a student, providing a safe reflective learning space, drawing on adult learning theories and models of supervision. You will learn how to prepare and implement an induction programme and how to organise learning opportunities. You will learn how to manage a fair and transparent assessment of students on a placement, involving the student in the process of formative and summative assessment. Teaching will include a critical exploration of power and difference in the supervisory relationship, drawing on anti-oppressive theory.
