6004: journal entry

 m6

Instructions

Each student will complete a personal toolbox journal entry for every module. The toolbox will be a place where you can add social work skills you are learning about, using, and exploring throughout each module, the readings, and your experiences in the field.

In this personal toolbox assignment, reflect on where you are over the last semester and your simultaneous experiences of practice, class, and practicum, paying special attention to the integration of course material into your practicum experience. Address where you were when you began the first generalist practice course and where you are now. This should be a self-reflective review of how you have seen yourself grow and develop thus far. Focus on skills you see yourself becoming more comfortable with and those you want to explore and develop further in addition to your growing self-awareness and ways of approaching those in need and the larger environment. 

Requirements

• Submit your assignment by the posted due date.
  
  • Your journal entry for this module should be between 500 and 750 words.
  • Responses should be thoughtful and demonstrate serious consideration of the skills you have chosen.
