Learning Agreement. The Learning Agreement provides a broad framework for developing an individualized learning plan which is responsive to the needs of the student and the resources of the field agency. It is designed to give direction and learning structure to the field experience and is developed around the core practice competencies that are designated in the 2008 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). It is the joint responsibility of the Student and Field Instructor to negotiate the learning agreement content within the first weeks of the field placement. The Student is responsible for providing a copy of the Learning Agreement to the Field Liaison.

The agreement is considered to be a working document and should serve as a guide for supervision throughout the year. There are two components to the learning agreement:
