Abstract

Considering cultural diversity, and specifically ethnicity, in field work education is a key dimension in promoting the success of minority graduate students in social work. Designing an ethnic sensitive field work program involves a careful examination of the placement process, the agency context, and the role of field instructor, faculty advisor, and student. Attention to prevalent themes about ethnicity enhances the educational assessment and the planned learning opportunities for the student. Supporting the strengths of the minority culture provides a foundation upon which students can master new learning.
