Résumé

This paper describes the process of redesigning the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) curriculum for the field education (practicum) courses. Insights from our experiences with self-directed learning in practicum and recognition of the ongoing crisis in field education including the continuous pressures on social work programs to find placements will be discussed. The structure for the community engaged practicum in the redesigned BSW program will guide students through learning experience about themselves and social work practice that is at once situated in both collective and individual contexts.
