The Final Assessment of Learning Report and My Professional Learning Tool must be
submitted onto the Blackboard site, within one week of completion of placement.
Examples of evidence of learning must be included to substantiate and justify ratings.
Knowledge and skill demonstrated is of a high standard including ability to undertake work independently, high level of
critical awareness, self-reflective and reflexive practice, where integration of theory to practice is clearly evident.
Articulates a strong emerging practice framework and social work identity. Safe, ethical and quality practitioner.
Knowledge and skill demonstrated is what would be expected of a newly graduated practitioner. Can work
independently as appropriate. Engages in reflective practice, where integration of theory to practice is evident.
Articulates a clear emerging practice framework. Safe, ethical and quality practitioner.
Knowledge and skill demonstrated is at a beginning level, performs with a developing level of skill in critical analysis
and reflection, self-awareness, and/or understanding of how theory integrates into practice. Articulates an emerging
practice framework with limited capacity for flexibility and adaptability. The student is not able to demonstrate safe,
ethical or quality practice as yet, requiring ongoing support.
Knowledge and skill demonstrated indicates limited levels of capability, and student still requires constant support and
guidance from field educator. Further work needed to demonstrate beginning level of skill in critical analysis, reflection,
use of self, and/or understanding of how theory integrates into practice. Student able to articulate some elements of
their emerging practice framework and has an awareness of the need and importance of this, however this is
inconsistent and lacks depth and understanding.
Performance not at basic level expected of a critically reflective and ethical practitioner. Poor understanding of
requirements of social work practice, of practice standards, codes of ethics, the organisational framework etc. Practice
is potentially unsafe or inappropriate. Knowledge or skills undeveloped. Attitude to learning is poor or inconsistent. No
emotional intelligence demonstrated or this is inconsistent.
The work has either not been undertaken or the field educator has not had an opportunity to assess capability in this
area.
Introduction to the Final Assessment of Learning document
The Final Assessment of Learning document is to be undertaken collaboratively between student and field
educator. Where the student also has an external Social Work field educator, the Final Assessment of Learning
Report needs to be undertaken collaboratively with all parties involved. We recommend that each party prepare
information for each section and share this with each other, and then this report is prepared through a joint
meeting to discuss achievements, issues, areas for development and plans. Refer to the Key above for
guidance around the levels of capability.
By the end of placement it is expected that students will have completed and discussed their 3-5 overall learning
goals documented in their Professional Learning Tool, three Reflections and two Process Recordings.
These documents serve as the key evidence to demonstrate achievement in each of the practice standards and
it is expected that the STARL evidence documented by the student in this final evaluation report informs and
supports the discussion about achievement. Overall, consider the learning and progress the student has made
towards demonstrating capability against each of the practice standards.

IMPORTANT: To achieve an overall satisfactory grade for final placement, students need to
demonstrate that they are either ‘Highly Capable’ or ‘Capable’ across the Eight Practice
Standards. For some of the Practice Standards’ sub standards you may not be able to assess
the student’s learning, as the organisational context does not present a learning opportunity
in this area of work. For these sub standards you may nominate ‘UA’. However students and
field educators are strongly encouraged to consider ways to minimise any UA grade. Please
consult with the Field Education team if you have any questions.
