Hi everyone,
pls am looking for a practice teacher for my work placement. I study social work degree at Robert Gordon university in Scotland and to the school procedure befoe the intake, we meant to get our placement and practice teacher on our own and the school we fund it. i mean pay the practice teacher for the duration of my placement. i live in Dublin but its really hard to find private practice teacher. pls i need ur help

Thats hard having to find yr own, esp if it is at same times as the universities do placements here, which is sept-dec and jan- apr as it is hard enough for them to get all the placements they need. Hav u tried other online sw forums? The iasw?
Good luck

When they say "full time" is this a couple of days a week 9-5 or is it 5 days a week?

In first year yes it's 5 days a week 9-5 and 2nd year it varies, and colleges vary with their timetables also,I'm currently in second year in UCD and im only in 3-4 days a week and you get December off to study/ do assignments and then theirs placement from January to the middle of April and that's all full time aswell then last two weeks of April your in classes

They will give you a reading list in sept when you start but I looked a lot at Pamela Trevithick and Neil Thompson for the interview and before I started. It's not all that bad you will enjoy it I literally just finished it up in April, the two years fly.
