This morning I spent some time preparing for tomorrow’s STEP
classes. The morning seemed to be slow, so I read some Social
Work journals and more in the policy manual. I talked to several
of the workers to find out more about what they do. I found out
that permanency planning involves a lot of different things. I met
with my field instructor and we talked more about what I would be
doing in my internship this week. I will be shadowing different
workers this week to just get a feel for the work in this agency that
serves a lot of different types of clients.
Hours: 8 hours

This morning I sat in on a parenting class. I also watched a video
about working in the agency and read some clients’ files. Some of
the information I read really disturbed me, but I know that bad
things happen to people. My field instructor talked to me about
my emotions and that helped me a lot.
Hours: 8 hours
January 26, 2011
I attended the meeting of the Community Services Council as a
guest of my field instructor. The Council members discussed some
possible changes in the way that the Council functions, and I
volunteered to be on one of the committees (I can’t believe I did
that!). I shadowed a worker making a home visit to follow-up on
some plans that were made last week. I read the case and some
agency policy before I went on the visit. I was just an observer, so
I did not say anything, but the worker and I discussed the visit in
the car on the way back to the office. I have learned a lot today.
I had to leave at 4:00 today because of illness - it was nothing
serious.
Hours: 7 hours
