LETTER OF AGREEMENT

Dana College Social Work Program and ________________________________.

The Dana College Social Work Program and____________________________________ hereby agree that the agency will provide field instruction for social work students according to the mutually agreed upon guidelines listed below.

The agency shall determine the number of students which it is prepared to accept at any given time and shall have the opportunity to interview students recommended by the college to determine their suitability for a field practicum experience in the agency.


Field instructors provided by the agency and the practicum coordinator of the college will collaborate in developing methods of instruction to implement the objectives of the practicum as stated in the course syllabus. The field instructors will provide regular supervisory conferences with the students on at least a weekly basis and will be responsible for written evaluations of the students' progress at the end of the practicum. Grades will be assigned by the college field coordinator in consultation with the agency and the student.


The college will provide consultation by the practicum coordinator, and will provide ongoing training opportunities for field instructors. This training will be specific to the needs of the bachelor’s level social work student and their supervisors.


The agency will retain full responsibility for its clients and/or patients and will maintain administrative and professional supervision of the students insofar as their presence affects the operation of the agency and/or the direct or indirect provision of services to its clients and/or patients.


The agency shall be responsible for arranging immediate care in case of accident or illness of the student but is not responsible for the costs involved, follow-up care, or hospitalization.


It is understood that assigned students are not agency or college employees and thus are not covered by Social Security, Employment Compensation, or Workmen's Compensation.


The college and the agency do not and will not discriminate against any applicant for field instruction because of race, ethnicity, color, religion, disability, gender, national origin, age or sexual orientation.


This agreement may be terminated by either party upon notice to the other three months in advance and is executed in duplicate by the authorized officers of both parties.
