Description
This subject integrates the student’s remote field work experience with their academic studies. The class consists of; online small-group discussions of issues that arise in placement, the development of professional interactions, exploration of the practical field of eldercare, and reflective journaling exercises for the purpose of integrating field experiences with classroom material. Connecting Seneca’s core literacy skills with the MTCU SSWG Vocational Standards, Seneca Student Code of Conduct, first and second semester course work, and OCSWSSW Code of Ethics is a critical learning process in this course. Contemporary issues in the field of aging will also be discussed as they apply to the student’s first placement in the field of aging. There is a mandatory universal precautions component to address pandemic risks which are higher in this field and debrief about aging vulnerable populations isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Emphasis is on developing self-reflective practitioner skills within an inclusive, anti-oppressive framework. Finally, professional skills and comport will be developed and monitored through online weekly debriefing sessions and performance in the field. Please note that confidentiality is of the greatest importance therefore, please do not use any names from placement and try to change any identifying features of the client or staff issues you are discussing if you are to raise questions about individual issues in class. This includes written, verbal, and or electronic forms of communication.
