HOW TO COMPLETE THIS CONTRACT AND
LEARNING AGREEMENT
instructions for how to compelte this form

agency field coordinator (onsite)work together to complete this form.
2. Once completed, it is
signed by the student and the field educator (either agency or external).
3. The student is required to
upload the completed document to ExO for marking.
4. The learning contract is

Student identified learning goals
Students develop unique learning
goals that address the skills and practices they will develop specific to their
placements. Each goal should develop a student skills, knowledge and values as
an emerging social worker. These goals are to be linked to the eight AASW
practice standards, outlined below.
Students must identify a minimum of
six goals for this contract and learning agreement.
The SMART goal framework can assist
students to develop meaningful and time-appropriate goals. SMART goals are
explained below.
One goal may apply to more than one
standard. It may happen that as the placement progresses, these goals may
change or are no longer relevant. If this happens, students can discuss this in
their reflective journals and / or in their mid-placement meeting. 
Without
clear goals, it can become easy to lose focus on what we are seeking to learn
on placements, and we can end up doing tasks that do not challenge or stretch
us. SMART goals help us to develop strategies to meet goals in a measured way,
that keeps us inspired to stay on track, especially when we experience setbacks
or difficulties.
Remember,
the main purpose of your placement is learning, so we want to challenge and
stretch ourselves to learn while on placement.
See
the following page for a useful breakdown of SMART goals and their usefulness:

The
orientation day was very interesting because we got appropriate evidence and
got an overview regarding my job role. At orientation, we received an
introduction an overall brief discussion regarding the organization and the
affiliation that provides the facility of working affectively in the
demography. We got our employment form, identity cards and we have to sign
several documents for completing our employment in the organization. After
the documentation, we got training over two online courses; one is for
infection control in the pandemic time and the other is regarding “NDIS
worker orientation module”. This organization was registered under “National
disability insurance scheme” which provides a considerable amount of donation
(22million dollars) for treating the infected patients (Ndis.gov.au, 2021).

joiners to get an overview regarding the job role, the rules and regulation
that are associated with the company.

theories like psychodynamic theory, cognitive theory are learnt by us to

issues in the pandemic (Guntrip, 2018). The supervisors pay visit to the
client and the need of the community is analysed at the preliminary level,
then an action plan is established to satisfy the need and demands of the
