Field Placement Alternatives in Social Welfare Administration/Management
Abstract
Increased concern for educating social service administrators has
forced major curriculum development & change in many schools of
social work. The field work curriculum is discussed, & several
models of field education are described, including some in which
schools of social work recruit & train full-time employees of
social service agencies. The U of Cincinnati program is described in
detail. The educational advantages & disadvantages of these models
are noted, & compensatory educational mechanisms are suggested to
overcome weaknesses in specific models. The actual & potential
impacts of the use of several administrative field models on
community-school relationships are explained, & implications are
drawn for the profession of social work as a whole. 1 Table. Modified
