The Practice Educator′s Handbook

This book has been written especially for practitioners to meet the new practice education framework and standards. It aims to help practice educators develop their own, and others', critical practice in line with the newly-extended Practice Educator domains which form a key structure for this text:

- organising opportunities for learning

- enabling learning

- managing assessment

- effective continuing performance

This book will support an individual through their personal journey, focusing on their perspective, and taking an open, analytical, and considered approach to the issues for practice education and, in particular, those associated with qualifying students and newly-qualified practitioners on their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment. This book is also fully updated with the Professional Capabilities Framework for Social Work.

There are sections on supervision, mentoring and coaching as well as the involvement of service users and carers. The Authors also examine learning cultures and communities of practice, continuing professional development and PQ training.
