MSW Advanced Generalist Evaluation of Field Placement Performance
822 - Field Practicum III (MSW - Advanced) 823 - Field Practicum IV (MSW - Advanced)
The Performance Evaluation must be completed and signed by the Field Instructor, On-Site Supervisor (if
applicable), and the Student.
The standard by which a social work 822 & 823 (MSW Advanced) practicum student is to be compared is that of
an advanced generalist level MSW student. The Core Competencies are those established by our national
accrediting organization, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). We are asking you to rate each of the
advanced practicum behaviors based on the following scale:
Not Observed: No opportunity for these skills to be performed by the practicum student in this semester.
Questionable Practice: Consistently demonstrates competency far below (less than 50% of the time) for this
behavior.
Beginner Practice: Consistently demonstrates competency below (at least 50% of the time) for this behavior.
Acceptable Practice: Consistently demonstrates competency at the level (at least 70% of the time) for this
behavior.
Good Practice: Consistently demonstrates competency above (at least 80% of the time) for this behavior.
Advanced Practice: Consistently demonstrates competency far above (at least 90% of the time) for this
behavior.
This practicum evaluation will be used as a significant portion of the practicum seminar grade each semester.
Narrative Section:
Please use the brief assessment narrative section of each core competency to individualize the student’s evaluation.
The assessment is an important and necessary part of the evaluation. Your comments personalize and clarify for
your students the essence of your evaluation of their work. It is important to comment on areas that need work, as
well as areas in which the student excels or has shown significant growth or accomplishment. If possible, give
examples of strengths or weaknesses. If a student is having problems in a certain area, please document thoroughly
the examples of concerns in that area. It is essential for the student and the School to have this section completed on
all students.
