All students also complete a PAC approved field placement whose objectives are tied to the course learning objectives.
Choosing your PAC Placement
Administration‐focused field
placements take place in a social service agency where students work directly with administrators at the agency. The type of activities they engage in include: creating or modifying programs, conducting community/agency research, program evaluating, grant writing, development of policies and procedures, and working with boards of directors.
Choosing your PAC Placement
Community‐focused field placements take place in grassroots organizations, funding organizations, or groups/organizations that focus on asset‐based community development. The type of activities students engage in include community organization/mobilization, conducting needs/assets assessments, grant writing, grassroots fundraising, and developing community leaders and programs.
Choosing your PAC Placement
Policy‐focused field placements
take place in advocacy organizations, the legislature, and professional associations. The type of activities students engage in include budget and policy analysis, research, development of position papers, tracking legislation, developing educational materials for advocacy, mobilizing support, testifying, and organizing hearings and days at the legislature.
The PAC Learning Contract
Forms are found on the school’s web pagehttp://ssw.asu.edu/portal/field-education/fe_forms/tusconIndex
Please identify on this page the projects in which you expect to be involved in your field placement. For each project, please indicate in the columns at the right which field expectations will be met in each placement. Please place an “E” for exposure (through observations/reading) or “P” for full participation (where you will have a “hands-on” skill development experience) in each column that is relevant to the project. See instruction sheet for explanation of context areas.

Field Instructor/Field Student Supervision Agreement
PAC Portfolio
PAC Portfolio
The PAC portfolio is a collection of materials documenting the student’s activity and productivity in the field placement, together with a critical synthesizing essay.
The portfolio is based on projects outlined in the student’s field contract.
PAC Portfolio
The PAC portfolio is due the 1st
week in April or,July 15th for summer field placements
Three Steps towards Creating the PortfolioNo. 1 Develop and collect products related to each of
the projects on an ongoing basis.For example:
a memo analyzing a meeting the student attended, a grant proposal, flyers created for events, a curriculum, an evaluation design or a program plan, a policy proposal, a press release, or an analysis of community assets.
Note: These items might represent your original work, collaboration, or products you contributed to.
Three Steps towards Creating the PortfolioNo. 2 Collate the portfolio documents and materials
in a three-ring binder, organized by project. Specify the role you played within each project in a cover sheet, or with colored post-it tabs (e.g., one color for products the student originated, another for material student revised or modified, other colors for collaborative products or for documentation of activities where the student observed or critiqued).
Three Steps towards Creating the Portfolio
No.3 Develop a critical essay of up to 10 pages that
illustrates integration of class and field and basic mastery of the PAC curriculum. Discuss how these projects are linked to the PAC field objectives and how they demonstrate application of appropriate PAC course objectives or units of study.
Evaluating the Portfolio
The portfolio will be evaluated independently by two faculty members and graded pass/fail. If the faculty members disagree, a third faculty member will evaluate the portfolio. If the portfolio does not meet the standard to pass, you will be provided with feedback and will be required to revise and resubmit it.
Note: The portfolio presented for evaluation should include 3 to 5 projects, each in a separate section.
The PAC Student Performance Evaluation
This evaluation instrument for Planning, Policy, Administration and Communitystudents is designed to fulfill several purposes. It provides feedback to the student on thepast semester’s performance, it provides a basis for the semester grade, and it keeps theSchool of Social Work informed about student performance in the field. Your honestevaluation is extremely helpful to the student and the School. Demonstration of highstandards of ethics is paramount to professional Social Work practice. Students mustearn a score of three or higher on each of the items in Section A: Professional Values andEthics to successfully complete Field Education. A score below three on any ofthe items in Section A will result in the student earning a failing gradefor the semester or placement.
The primary focus of this PAC placement may be on administration, community practice,or policy practice. However, some projects included in the contract may meet objectiveswithin areas outside the primary focus. Part III assessments include an N/A option to beused where no project includes activity in that area.
