Seminar I have a fun activity we will do next weekend.
Unit Introduction and What You Will Learn
Week nine is synchronous with having class on Saturday (10/19/24) week for SOWK 590. We will have the following agenda:

- Practice Learning Reflection Group
The learning objectives this week include:
- Students will recognize the shared experiences of peers in their practicum and be able to use the group as a method for sharing and problem-solving.
- Students will analyze their practicum experience, reflecting on how it connects to their development and demonstration of competence.
- Students will actively practice a mindfulness activity.
- Students consider community organizing and activism.

Midterm Feedback
Please submit feedback about this class and your practicum. I know it is a bit odd to have two classes to submit feedback on for this, but if you would go in and do it for both. I haven’t gotten much feedback in any my classes yet Please do this.
Consider:
SOWK 590 (1) related to the work we have done in person during seminar
SOWK 595 (1) related to the work on learning contracts and site visits based on my work with you
Unit Resources
Our mindfulness activity we are going to do this week will be to create and use poi for spinning. I participated in an activity related to this at the NASW conference I went to last month and wanted to share it with all of you. You can find some information about the Flow Arts Institute and some resources by the presenter Resources - Sound Connections Counseling and Consulting. You can also see Poi (performance art) - Wikipedia.
I’ll post my slides as we get closer to class.
