Supervision seminars are designed for field instructors who for the first time are supervising an M.S.W. intern. Given at Simmons College School of Social Work, 300 The Fenway, Boston, 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Palace Road Building, Room P-106 (1st floor, Social Work Administrative suite), they are free of charge, include free readings (downloadable from the Simmons College library website), and carry 13.5 CECs. Participants must attend 80% (7) of the sessions in order to meet the CEC requirement. A certificate is awarded upon completion of the course.
All beginning supervisors of Simmons students (who have not taken a seminar at another school of social work) are required to attend. If geographical distance or the seminar schedule makes it impossible for you to attend at Simmons you may take a seminar at another social work program (space permitting). The New England Consortium of Graduate Program Field Directors (NECON) is collaborating to make this exchange possible. Please visit http://www.neconsortium.com/workshops.shtml for the listings. The site will be updated beginning June 2008 with each school adding their information as it becomes available.
