Beschreibung
Learning and self-development is a continuous process for social workers, and practitioners must keep abreast of new knowledge, guidance and legislation in order to keep growing professionally.
In this innovative text, an expert group of authors from a range of academia and practice settings highlights the importance of traditional approaches to learning, such as reflective practice and motivation, and introduces more contemporary methods such as coaching, service user participation and developing digital competence.
Strongly practical in its approach, the book enables the reader to engage with the content in bite-size pieces, encouraging them to learn in whatever way works best for them. Features include:
• Over 40 reflective tools, exercises and templates that can be used by learners and educators independently or in groups, in the classroom or the workplace
• A wealth of case material to illustrate key points
• An inspiring collection of first-hand narratives from social workers learning and developing in the field.
This is an invaluable resource for educators and a must-read sourcebook for learners – be they students, newly qualified social workers or practitioners wishing to attend to their own professional development.

The templates and exercises included move beyond one dimensional reflection and encourage the development of characteristics that are required for safe and confident practice such as resilience and emotional intelligence
This book has a broader appeal than most in that it is also written for more than just newly qualified practitioners and is designed to benefit those in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and practice educators
Offers a balance of theory and practice and a range of tools, techniques and templates to develop professional practice. These can be employed in the classroom, during practice learning on placement, and in supervision
