*REMINDER: Upcoming deadline 2/15/20 Social Work Field Instruction in Modern Practice: A Handbook Samuel Little, PhD, Laura Loessner, LCSW-C, & Mirian Ofonedu, PhD, editors Call for Papers Chapters due 2.15.20. Selection notifications by 3.1.20. Purpose Our text aims to engage social work field instructors and supervisors in an accessible manner. Current titles in this area lean heavily on theoretical approaches without practical application strategies. Our title aims to equip the reader with conversational, user-friendly approaches, grounded in theory supplemented with exercises designed to promote involvement with subject content and develop critical thinking, self-reflection and engagement with social work supervisees, agency staff, and field education professionals. Approach Since the intended audience manages a myriad of responsibilities in addition to duties as field instructors, we intend for this text to be approachable and conversational in tone. Chapters will delve into subject specific content within theoretical frameworks familiar to MSWs and include theoretical application within the case studies and exercises intended to aid readers with real-time application of content.
