Expanded Field Instructor Role

The field instructor traditionally plays an important role in educating social workers. In the HPPAE, that role is even more essential because students are rotating through multiple settings, which increases the potential for learning to become disjointed. This is why HPPAE field instructors have expanded responsibilities beyond those traditionally associated with their profession. The HPPAE implementation manual and resources below highlight these additional responsibilities, as well as the benefits of an expanded role.
