Assignment Description and Instructions: SELF- EVALUATION

You are expected to write about yourself and your development over the duration of this

course. Using your journals in support of your narrative and referring to entries that you might

find relevant, explore your strengths and your challenges with clients, colleagues, co-workers

and supervisors at your internship at Upton Gardens Girls center in st Lucia. Write about your anxieties, biases and your successes. Talk about personal issues that you are comfortable sharing. Where possible, also make reference to material that you might have read, using the correct method of referencing the text that you have used. Bearing in mind the importance of writing well in social work, express any emotions that

demonstrate: -

confusion over ethical issues with which you might have been confronted and how

you felt after they had been resolved, or not resolved;

how you might have done things differently and your rationale for this;

your successful or un-successful use of interpersonal skills in communicating with your

clients, co-workers or supervisors;

your responses to feedback from supervisors or co-workers;

your (in)ability to liaise with other agencies to help your clients.

From a social work perspective, what would you describe as your key learning about (1) social

work theory and (2) your own professional development? What would you like to pay more

attention to during the next semester?

Remember that this is a record of your learning and you do not have to only show the positive

side of each interaction. Of equal importance to your learning are the occasions when things

did not run as smoothly as you might have wanted them to. Also take note that any references

to the agency, clients or co-workers must be so masked as to be not recognizable to anyone

who might come across your report.

The report must be at least 8 pages in length; References must be done in APA 7 format.
