Martha L. Ellison, Sandra Posada, and Lisa Richardson
Chapter 12, Professional Development, offers recommendations for thriving and succeeding in an environment where the academic and administrative nature of the field director’s position is unique. Mentorship, research, continuing education, and practicing self-care are ways to sustain field directors. The authors provide guidance on how to balance field responsibilities, scholarship, and promotion and tenure. Readers will be oriented to field education professional networks including the Council on Social Work Education, the Baccalaureate Program Directors, the North American Network of Field Educators and Directors, and regional consortia.
