Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

If the course instructor finds that the process recording does not demonstrate expected competency and analysis, the student may be given an opportunity to redo the assignment. In this case, a new interview is required.

The template attached This is the only admissible form! Please type all comments into this “Process Recording” template. Submit as Word document (except where noted in Section VI).
Guidelines:
1.Interviewing requires active listening, taking cues from the client, using open-ended questions, and so forth. Therefore, the process recording should not originate from an intake form that may be overly scripted.
2. You may not record the interview used for the process recording; therefore, pre-arrange time immediately after the interview to complete the form while the interview is fresh.
3. In advance, discuss this assignment with your field instructor to determine requirements for consent, if needed, and information to include in your introduction if a prior relationship with the client does not exist.
4. The field instructor is a silent observer during the process recording interview. The purpose of their presence is to be able to provide constructive feedback to you based on their direct observation and to take notes that can be recorded in the “Field Instructor’s Comments” column. Therefore, before the interview, develop a repertoire of statements (1) for informing the client of this prior to initiation of the interview and (2) for having a statement ready to redirect a client back to you if the client tries to engage the field instructor during the process recording interview.
5. Prior to the interview, allow time to review the following which will better prepare you for the interview:
a. Franks, Cheryl (2009). Handbook for Student Social Work Recording. Columbia University School of Social Work
b. Process Recording Handbook. Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service
c. Garthwait Table 7.1 Effective Interpersonal Communication
d. Students often confuse the two columns entitled “Your Reactions” and “Your Assessment.” Reviewing these handbooks and the examples before your process recording will clarify how what you record is connected and meaningful to your learning. These are guides only so refrain from mimicking content in the handbooks to your own process recording.
