Abstract

This field practicum report discusses my experience as a Master of Social Work (MSW) student from the University of Regina with the Regina Public School Division (RPSD). I was able to work alongside a school counsellor at three elementary schools within the RPSD. In this paper, I will outline my practicum objectives and discuss how I was able to achieve them. An overview of the agency and the roles and duties of a school counsellor will be reviewed. In this report I will incorporate the main projects and activities I was able to participate in such as: group facilitation, assisting with implementing interventions, attending specialized meetings and working collaboratively with outside agencies. I have discussed the theoretical orientation of each of these interventions and the strengths-based perspective and cognitive behavior therapy within this report. I have also discussed social work values and ethics.
