Practice Education Webinars with Siobhan Maclean
North East London Social Work Teaching Partnership in conjunction with Siobhan Maclean recently held webinars for Practice Educators.
Facilitating student learning in a virtual world ( 03 November, 2020)
This webinar considers the impact of current ways of working on student learning. What should a contemporary practice-learning curriculum look like? Drawing on traditional learning theories we will explore how practice educators can support student social workers to learn and develop their practice when placement learning environments look so different. Issues around situated learning and arranging learning opportunities to help students demonstrate the PCF domains will be addressed. The session includes feedback from students about learning in the contemporary climate. The perennial learning issues of theory and practice and reflective practice will be considered in terms of changed ways of working.

The specific issue about how to have a ‘courageous conversation’ and provide feedback to students in virtual spaces will be explored.
