How do you balance academic and practice learning as a social work student?

Some ways to get started are: Keeping goals which aligned to interest you. Keeping your focus on support others. Making healthy conversation that do not consume much time.

When I was in graduate school, setting realistic goals about what I wanted to achieve during my advanced standing program was an important aspect of what helped me to be successful. I was able to track my progress with the help of a mentor who provided guidance when needed and helped me to stay focused on what truly mattered. As a result, I developed valuable skills that would serve me for years to come. It's important for professionals at any stage of their career to make sure they have a plan in place and set goals that are realistic and achievable. Having a mentor or sponsor can also help to keep you motivated, provide feedback, and offer advice on taking the necessary steps for success.

I totally agree with article. Learning how to manage your time is important when you are balancing your academic work load and your field placement.

When I was in graduate school, it was helpful to build a support system around me. As the old saying goes" No one becomes successful by themselves. I always tell my social work students and supervisees, that while you climb the ladder of success, someone has to hold the ladder for you.

I agree with the article, utilizing reflection is important skill to utilize within the social work practice as a seasoned professional and as a social work student. Although, I graduated 10 years ago with my masters in social work, I continued to use that skill throughout my 20 year career in social work. I think reflection helps to keep the social worker up-to-date with their professional development. Additionally, it is a great way to share experiences and discuss various topics among colleagues which can help to develop best practices. Reflection also provides an opportunity for growth in the profession by looking at one’s own work experience, motivations and values as well as any duplicity that may be occurring.

As a social work supervisor I encourage my staff to take time for reflection, especially following each session or activity. This allows the individual to reflect on how it went and what could have been done differently in order to improve the experience. In addition, I think that it is important for the individual to use reflective practice as a means of developing self-awareness, understanding different perspectives and gaining insight into areas which may need further development. Ultimately, reflective practice is vital for the growth and success of any professional in the social work field.

Regularmente, reservar um tempo para refletir sobre suas experiências práticas e acadêmicas. Tentar identificar como a teoria informa a prática e vice-versa. Isso pode ser feito por meio de diários de campo, grupos de discuss?o ou supervis?o reflexiva. E após a gradua??o, continuar buscando oportunidades de aprendizado. Workshops, seminários e cursos de pós-gradua??o podem ajudar a manter suas práticas alinhadas com as últimas pesquisas e teorias.

Learning how to balance your career and other responsibilities is a life long skill. When I was in graduate school, it was very important to learn how to seek opportunities that will help me enhance my professional development in social work practice. Often times, I would collaborate with other social work peers within my academic cohort and through various student associations to help further our shared goals. I was also fortunate to get involved with volunteer opportunities outside of my program that allowed me to gain additional experience and knowledge in the field. By actively pursuing a variety of experiences, I was better able to grow personally and professionally.
