Practice Education in Social Work Summary

Practice Education in Social Work: Achieving Professional Standards by Paula Beesley

Now fully updated to reflect the changing social work placement landscape and the BASW refreshed (2022) Practice Educator Professional Standards (PEPS), this best-selling book is an invaluable guide for social workers undertaking learning and assessment to gain and maintain Stage 1 or 2 qualified practice educator status and for those involved in facilitating the mentoring, learning, support, assessment and CPD of practice educators.

It covers all key areas within Practice Educator training and offers guidance on the application of key skills and knowledge in supporting, assessing and teaching social work students and managing the placement. It will particularly assist Practice Educators to:

  • Understand, prepare for and provide appropriate learning opportunities
  • Understand and implement effective supervision of social work students, including development of reflection, knowledge, skills and values
  • Understand holistic assessment of practice; assessing in line with capability levels expected at the end of first and final placement
  • Deal with weaker or failing students
  • Prepare the reader for the PEPS qualification process.

Practice Education in Social Work Reviews

In its previous editions, this book has been truly valued by social workers learning to support, guide and assess student social workers during their placements. The current edition is, as the authors say, respectful of the previous authors' experience and expertise and in this third edition Beesley and Taplin build on this to offer a thorough update to the book that clearly responds to the post-pandemic, digital world, whilst employing critical prior research, learning and skills. Social workers, learning to become practice educators, will find this book invaluable in guiding their steps through the shifting sands of contemporary social work practice, helping them to link this journey to the complex map of the Practice Educator Professional Standards. A 'must have' for those wanting to become practice educators!

-- Professor Jonathan Parker * Bournemouth University & University of Stavanger' *

Whatever academics may believe about the brilliance of their teaching or research, the fact is that what most matters to qualifying social work students is the quality of their placement opportunities - the quality of practice educators, the support offered to students with diverse learning needs, the practice environment, and the fairness and transparency of assessment. This accessible, coherent, logical guide helps all of those engaged in the practice learning process to achieve the very best for students and therefore, implicitly, for those in need of social work services. The book makes a major contribution to assuring the future of social work by ensuring that students are given the best opportunities within practice learning contexts.

-- Nigel Horner * Visiting Professor for Social Work and Interprofesssional Education, University of Lincoln *
