Practice Education in Social Work : A Handbook for Practice Teachers, Assessors and Educators

Written for practice educators, this book examines contemporary theories and knowledge in practice learning, teaching and education, and enables readers to reflect on how this relates to role as a practice educator.

The book also considers other roles associated with practice education - mentor, coach, supervisor, the "arms length" practice educator.

In addition, it examines wider aspects of the practice educator's role in supporting and mentoring colleagues in practice who are undertaking post-qualifying awards.

Throughout, the book is structured not only around the new Post Qualifying Standards for Practice Education, but also the Higher Education Academy.
