Evaluations
Field Instructors must submit two evaluations per semester of each student they supervise. The Midterm Evaluation allows the faculty advisor and field instructor to assess progress and make any necessary changes. The Field Instructor Assessment of Student Competencies (FIASC) measures student competency in field placement and is based on competencies that form the foundation for Field Work courses. Field Instructors fill out the assessment, discuss the responses with their students, and submit the FIASC to the Faculty Advisor for review. Both the Midterm Evaluation and FIASC must be submitted through IPT. Following are examples of each of the evaluations.
- Midterm Evaluation
- BSW Senior FIASC
- MSW Foundation Year FIASC
- MSW Advanced Year IP FIASC
- MSW Advanced Year ICPL FIASC

For faculty field liaison
Corrective action plan: When concerns with a student's progress or agency environment are identified, a faculty advisor works with the student and field instructor to create a corrective action plan. This document must be completed and filed in the student's file. This is often prompted by the results of the Midterm Evaluation or contact from the Field Instructor.
Syllabus addendum: (file will automatically download): Faculty Field Liaisons should adapt this document to include their expectations of their assigned students. The items in red are areas that should be addressed.
